After pruning, find some rooting solution, soak the bottom of the branch into the rooting solution of water to soak for about 20 minutes, after soaking, we can deploy soil cuttings, cuttings of duck-footed wood it's more casual medium, as long as you ensure that the soil is clean on it, we can use perlite cuttings, you can use vermiculite cuttings, you can use the nutrient soil, generally recommended that we use the Nutrient soil cuttings, because it contains nutrients.
Branches directly into the soil about two centimeters can be, either horizontal or vertical insertion can be, because its roots are directly from the bottom of the wound near the growth, and its stem is also able to grow roots, so as long as the wound into the soil about two centimeters, we cuttings on it. After the cuttings are taken, the soil is watered directly, and it is best to add some carbendazim to the water to prevent the soil from having fungus, which can cause the wound to become infected.
After the cuttings are ready, put it in a place to see diffused light and good ventilation, potting soil surface dry, timely watering it, so that it has been continuously raised, up to 1 ~ 2 weeks of time, its root system will slowly grow out, watching it begin to grow normally, we can transplant it to a new potting soil to cultivate alone.
