Wait until the cut end is completely dry before inserting it into the soil. 2. Prepare some loose flower soil for cuttings . It is best to mix sandy leaf mold and fine sand to make the flower soil. After preparation, put it in the flowerpot, and then insert the cuttings into the soil so that about half of its length is immersed in the soil. After insertion, compact the soil and water it once.
