You can use whatever soil you have at home. Of course, you can also mix it with some soil containing organic fertilizer. For example, a mixture of soil, perlite, pebbles, etc. is also a good choice.

3. Specific cutting work

Gently insert the branches of the Chlorophytum comosum that have been simply processed into the potting soil, and then slowly water until the water penetrates the entire pot of soil. Then place the flowerpot in a cool place to avoid direct sunlight and the dry environment caused by rapid evaporation of water.
