In mid- to late May, from the base of the branch cut branches 20-30 cm long, the cuttings have a white latex flow, need to be placed in a cool ventilated place for 2-3 days, so that the wound with a layer of protective film and then cuttings, cuttings with latex easy to rot. Inserted into a clean vermiculite or sand bed or shallow sand pots, and then sprayed with water, placed indoors or outdoors under the shade, sprayed with water every other day, so that the substrate to keep moist can be.
