2. Plant in a flowerpot: After preparing the soil, you can plant in the pot. When planting, spread the soil first, then put in the seedlings and fill the soil as soon as possible. After filling the soil, compact it carefully, and add water and moisturize it in time. New sprouts will grow in about a week.

The branches and trunks can grow better if they are exposed to more sunlight. Water every 2-4 days, and spray more water in dry environments. In addition, fertilizer should be applied once every half a month, using low-concentration fertilizer to avoid root burn.
