for one hour in the air.
– take the container and pour vermiculite into it – this
special mineral that is used for rooting cuttings
(it can be purchased at garden centers or replaced with woody
coal). Alternatively, the cutting can be dipped into the root solution –
drug that accelerates the formation of roots in plants.
– moisten the soil and place cuttings in it. Once again water
warm water.
– provide lighting, avoiding direct light and warm
temperature conditions.
After three weeks, the plant’s root system will develop and
can be transplanted to the soil substrate.

must have a high peat content. For the best effect make
a kind of greenhouse or provide the necessary temperature
(24-26 ° C), moistening and watering.

shoots.

pieces of 5-20 cm. The stalk is placed horizontally or vertically
in vermiculite, sand or soil substrate and create a peculiar
greenhouse effect. If you used the vertical method, then
transplant the stalk into the ground is not required.
