The usual propagation method for Daruma Fukuniang is mainly cuttings. During the growing season, select cuttings with short stem nodes and thick, plump leaves, 5 cm to 7 cm long. Terminal stem nodes are best. After the cut surface dries slightly, insert them into a sand bed. About 20 to 25 days after insertion, they root, and after 30 days they can be potted. Single-leaf cuttings can also be used: place a thick, plump leaf flat on a sand pot and press the base of the leaf firmly once. After about 25 to 30 days, it can root and gradually grow into a small plant. Its place of origin is Namibia in southwestern Africa, and it can now be cultivated in many places around the world.

Only then will it be more beautiful.
