1. Seeding method

(1) Seed collection: after artificial pollination, the crab claw can bear fruit. The seeds mature in July and August, and can be sown directly after picking

Matrix: it can be prepared with peat soil and perlite in a ratio of two to one. Before sowing, it needs to be disinfected before it can be used

(3) Sowing and treatment: the seeds are scattered into the soil and then covered with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil moist after sowing. About one to two weeks after sowing, it can germinate. However, this method takes a long time to reach the flowering stage, so it is not commonly used

2. Grafting method

(1) Time: usually in late spring and early summer

(2) Scion and rootstock: the scion should select the strong stem nodes born in the current year, and generally retain two or four nodes. Cactus is usually used as rootstock

(3) Grafting and treatment: make an interface on the rootstock, and then insert the scion. After that, put it in a well shaded and ventilated place. After about a week, the wound will heal

3. Cutting method

(1) Time: spring and autumn are sexual, usually in March, April or September

(2) Material: it is best to choose healthy and thicker leaves

(3) Cutting and treatment: the substrate should be disinfected first. After inserting the material into the matrix, be sure to ensure wetting. About a week or two later, it can take root
