Simply let your cuttings air dry for a few days first.Īfter a few days, you can place them in a vase with water to root, or directly into a pot of soil. This is to ensure that your cuttings don’t rot. Once you make your cuttings, like any succulent or cactus, you need to allow your cuttings to dry and callous over before propagating. The more cuttings you have, the fuller your resulting plant will be! Just be careful though that you don’t turn the cuttings upside down as they will not root! The part of the cutting that was closest to the pot will be the end that roots.Īim to make each cutting about 3-4 inches long or so. You can make several cuttings from a single leaf (it might technically be considered a modified stem) and root each one. I water propagated my own plant, but you can easily place them in soil as well. I’ll briefly describe how I propagated my plant, and then talk about the care of Fishbone Cactus.
