Green, obovate. The plants of Yayue Dance are short, with thin branches, and the fleshy stems are reddish brown (new stems) or grayish white (old stems): the fleshy leaves are opposite, most of the leaves are yellowish white, and only a small part of the center is light green; The edge of the small flower is pale pink.

I like sunny, warm and well-ventilated environment. Drought-resistant, avoid humidity and cold. Although it can grow normally under the condition of semi-shading and scattered light, the color of spot brocade on leaves will decrease and the spacing between stems will be lengthened, which will make the plants loose and compact and affect the ornamental.

In the spread of instrumental dance, cutting or grafting is often used. Cuttings are usually carried out in the growing period, and cuttings can be cut off during plastic surgery. The length requirement is not strict, but there must be at least 3 to 4 pairs of blades. Before insertion, remove the lower leaves, air dry 1 ~ 2 days, insert the wound into the culture soil after drying, put it in a place without direct sunlight, keep the soil slightly wet, and take root in 2 ~ 3 weeks. After the seedlings survive, apply thin fertilizer to make them grow vigorously. When plants grow to a certain size, they can be shaped. Grafting is also carried out in the growing season, and the rootstock is grafted with the original seed of Portulaca oleracea by split grafting.
