Kalanchoe blossfeldiana: Kalanchoe is suited to propagation by cuttings. The best time for cuttings is from May to June, or from September to October; during these periods, cuttings take well and root quickly. The growing medium for cuttings is best as yellow sand or sandy soil. Before use, disinfect it first with potassium permanganate solution. Cut the stems at a slant and insert them, as this helps rooting.

Pothos: For pothos cuttings, first select healthy, sturdy stems and leaves, choose ones with aerial roots, and keep at least three leaves. Prepare a large pot, fill it with soil, and choose soil with strong air permeability, adding a little perlite or the like. Insert the pothos at a slant, which helps it survive. After cutting, place it in a shady spot and water once every two or three days; water thoroughly when the soil has dried out.

Peperomia obtusifolia: The cutting time for Peperomia obtusifolia is from April to May, when the survival rate of cuttings is highest. When taking cuttings, let the cut end dry to avoid infection. The soil should be one with strong air permeability; peat soil and perlite can be used. Before cutting, lightly mist the cuttings and the substrate, then place them in a shady spot for care, and they will root in half a month.
