[{"selector":"#anim-01b21f49-01a7-4bba-a1d3-5bff1d15d852 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.909909909909908%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Stem cuttings Cut a section of stem with a few leaves and root it in water or soil.
