Environmental temperature: The suitable temperature for fleshy inserts is between 18℃ and 25 ℃. Too high or too low will affect the rooting of inserts.

2. Gently compact the soil to bring the insert into close contact with the soil.

Observe the rooting status of the insertion: Generally, the insertion begins to take root 2-3 weeks after insertion. You can remove the plastic wrap or plastic bag and gradually increase the light.
2. Appropriate watering: After the inserts take root, keep the soil moist, but avoid standing water. When watering, try to water from the edge of the pot and avoid directly pouring on the inserts.
3. Pot change and transplanting: When 3-5 leaves grow from the insert, change the pot, choose a flowerpot with good breathability and good drainage, and transplant it into a new growth environment. Precautions 1. Before inserting the implant, ensure that the implant wound heals to avoid infection.
