From the end of August to the beginning of September, choose a plant that grows well, take it out from the pot, and then use a knife to divide it into several parts from the bottom and transplant them separately. Cuttings can be made in May, June or August or September. Cut off the branches or leaves and insert them into the substrate. Roots will grow in about half a month. Tissue culture propagation is uncommon and uses the method of inducing adventitious roots.

1. Branches

1. Division

From the end of August to the beginning of September, it should be combined with repotting. Select a plant that is growing well, take it out of the pot, and then use a knife to divide it into several parts from the bottom and transplant them separately. Pay attention to subsequent maintenance and avoid exposure to too strong sunlight.

2. Cuttings

1. Branches: In May, June or August and September, cut 4-6cm branches, preferably with 5-7 leaves on the top. Dispose of the lower leaves to prevent excessive water consumption and evaporation, and place them in a cool place to dry. Wait until the incision heals. Use clean river sand or pure vermiculite as the medium for cuttings, which will make it easier to take root. It will take about half a month for roots to grow and new leaves to grow.

2. Leaves: Select strong leaves and cut them from the petiole. After the cut becomes slightly dry, insert them diagonally or place them flatly on the medium to maintain good humidity. In about 10-15 days, fine roots will sprout from the base of the leaves, and after a while, seedlings will grow.

3. Tissue culture propagation

This method is not common. It mainly uses the stems, leaves, flowers, and flower buds of the plant as explants, and then adds various chemicals to induce the growth of adventitious buds. Adjust the room temperature to 25-27°C and provide 16 hours of light, and small plants will grow in 4-6 weeks.
