INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Place cutting on top of the soil. Roots should form in the following two weeks. Plants should be in bright shade during the rooting period. Water the cutting sparingly when there is root and only water when the soil is dry. After cutting has rooted, to avoid leaves from getting burnt, acclimatize the plant to outdoors.
