Propagation & Cultivation
It can be propagated through soil propagation.Cut a single leaf near the soil line, snip it into pieces about 2 inches long, allow the cuttings to callus for a couple of days (a callus is a soft, dry, whitish tissue that forms over the cut surface as it heals), and then plant each leaf cutting into well-draining potting soil.
