　　You can’t bring the old leaves below. We usually call the fetus leaves one by one. Pick the better ones.

You just want to look for the kind that looks fresh and a little bit better. You must match your eyes with your hands and pick it only after you see the tenderness.

Once it is picked (down), it must be placed in the basket, and its color (slightly changed) should not be allowed.
