3. Start cutting: take the processed cuttings , insert it vertically into the bottom sand. Be careful not to insert it upside down or to the bottom. Leave space for roots at the lower part of the cutting. After inserting it, place it in a place with astigmatism. Don't worry about it anymore, and you can't always move it.

4. Post-cutting maintenance: After the cutting is completed, place the foam box at a temperature of about 25°C. After the water in the foam box dries up, roots will take place in about 2 weeks.
