It is usually propagated by grafting or cuttings. Cuttings are usually taken during the growing season of the plant. When taking cuttings, you can choose the branches and buds pruned during shaping. There is no clear requirement for the length, but there must be at least 3 to 4 pairs of leaves. Before cutting the roots, cut off the lower leaves and let them air dry for 1 to 2 days. After the cut is dry, insert it into the nutrient soil of the flowerpot. Place it in a place with gentle scattered light, keep the soil in the pot slightly moist, and it will take root in 2 to 3 weeks.
