Here's how to do the procedure:

1. If you are choosing a chrysanthemum from a bouquet, you can ignore this step. If the chrysanthemum is a single plant, pick 3-4 buds from the base and cut them off. Next, separate the stem on the cutting, keeping the length about 5 cm. Remove any excess leaves.
2. Prepare loose soil and create a deep depression in the ground.
3. Dust the stem of the cutting with a powdered rooting agent.
4. Plant the cutting in the ground and press it down.
