Prepare root growth water and add some vinegar to it. Then, put the cut materials into it to soak. This is done to grow fine roots. After about half a day, you can take them out for cutting.
3. Choose the soil

Prepare a pot, put about one-third of the soil into the pot, insert the rhizome, then fill in some soil. After that, water thoroughly.
