• Take a 4 to 6-inch stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in a well-draining potting mix.
• The potting mix should consist of 2 parts garden soil, 2-3 spoons of crushed eggshells (अंडे का छिलका), and 1/2 part sand (रेत). Mix all of these together and transfer them to the pot.
• Give the plant 4-6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily. It needs a warm, humid climate, but don’t keep it in the harsh afternoon sun.
• Water it well, and let the topsoil dry out before watering it again. You can also mist it occasionally but do not overwater it.
• You can give it a handful of well-aged cow dung (गोबर की खाद) once a month in the growing season (spring and summer), but avoid it in winter.
