Cutting and ramet propagation are widely used. Cutting: From April to May, select strong top branches with a length of about 5cm as cuttings, and leave 1-2 leaves on the upper part. After the incisions are dry, insert them into the wet sand bed. You can also insert leaves, cut leaves with petioles with a knife, dry them slightly, insert them obliquely on the sand bed, and take root at 10- 15. In a greenhouse with temperature control equipment, it can be carried out all year round.
Ramet: Mainly used for the propagation of color-leafed varieties. Potted soil can be humus soil, peat soil and some perlite or sand, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer can be added. Topdressing 1 time every half month during the growth period, it is best to use water that has been put in the pool for 1-2 days, and control the water in winter. Temperature changes directly affect the color of leaves, and the suitable temperature for colored leaves in winter is18-20℃; The species of green leaves is about 65438 05℃. If you are afraid of heat in summer, you can spray water under the shade shed to cool down, but it should be noted that overheating and excessive humidity will lead to black and rotten stems and leaves. Place it in a sunny place in winter and avoid direct sunlight in summer. Change pots every 2-3 years 1 time. ?
This variety has few pests and diseases, leaf spot and stem rot often occur when the soil is too wet, and scale insects and slugs are occasionally harmful, so it needs to be prevented in time.

It is often cultivated in white plastic pots and white porcelain pots and placed on coffee tables, decorative cabinets, antique shelves and desks, which are very beautiful, fresh and pleasing to the eye.
(4) Jasper flowers prefer semi-cloudy or scattered light. In addition to abundant sunshine in winter, other seasons need a little shade, especially in summer. If placed in a cool environment, it is easy to grow white and grow among branches, which reduces the ornamental value, and it is also not desirable. Under the condition of semi-shading, the leaves are brighter and brighter, especially the variegated leaves, and the demand for sunlight is slightly higher.
