In special mini-plates, the soil is prepared in such a way that there is ordinary garden soil at the bottom, and sand on top with a layer of 5 cm. The soil is well watered and cuttings are planted in it until the first leaf. Moderate humidity is maintained for 3 weeks, after which old leaves may dry out and fall off, but new ones will appear.
