Lower leaves are cut off and cuttings are exposed to a glass of water until roots appear. Then planted to pots. Propagation by seeds is used when there is need for a big quantity of plants. Seeds are sown in soil in March. Seeds are sown in boxes in March, thin layer of soil is spread on the surface. When the first leaves appear, plant need more light. |
