Its principles and operation methods are similar.

Take the leaves and keep them in a cool place for a few days. After a few days, insert them into the potting sand. Water them to make them take root and survive, and then transfer them to a pot.

The two methods are relatively similar, but leaf cutting is simpler.

The propagation methods of winter beauty usually include leaf cutting and beheading transplantation. Cut leaves or branches from strong plants and let them dry in a cool environment for a few days. After they are slightly dry, put them in a pot of sand, water them lightly, and keep them in place.

The sand in the pot should be moist, and it will take about a week to take root when the weather is warm. Do not expose it to the sun, just place it in a brightly lit place.

Young shoots will appear in about 1-2 weeks.

Leaf cuttings: If the old pile that has been beheaded is left in the pot, new buds will grow and grow again.
