The lower pair of leaves are removed, and the cut is processed with a rootstock. For rooting, cover the stalk with a film. You can propagate seeds that are soaked, planted in separate pots to the depth of the seed, germinate at a temperature of not less than 69,8 ° F, covering the pots with polythene or glass.
