After inserting, water it, cover it with plastic film to keep warm and moist, and place it in a semi-shady place. The cuttings can take root in about 3 weeks at 20 ~ 25℃.

For the creeping green velvet with red back, the core is collected from May to June in the first year to promote branching and form clumps, and the branch propagation is carried out in the spring of the second year.

When the leaves at the lower part of the plant fall off and are bare, the method of layering is adopted to make the plump part of the leaves at the front part form a new plant, and then the stems are broken and planted separately.

The suitable temperature for ruby growth is 20 ~ 30℃, and the air humidity should be kept at about 70%, which is not cold-resistant. If the temperature is lower than 10℃, the leaves will turn yellow and twist, so it is appropriate to keep the overwintering temperature above 15℃.
