It is more recommended to use the cutting method. Select a one-year-old strong branch and insert it into two-thirds of the cuttings. After insertion, compact the soil and water it thoroughly.

4. Post-maintenance: No matter which planting method is used, attention should be paid to the maintenance method in the later stage. It should be placed in a place with dim light and covered with plastic film in spring. It should maintain suitable temperature and humidity. If the environment is suitable, roots will grow in about 20 days.
