Initially both spheres are neutral. We first make physical contact in both spheres then bring a negatively charged rod closer to on sphere ;say sphere 1. Due to electrostatic induction induction sphere 1 gets positive charge and sphere 2 gets negative charge now we can slowly separate both spheres using insulation contact and finally remove negatively charged rod. Hope it helps.
