Cactus Pup Cuttings
How to make a new cactus plant out of pups? Propagate 'em! Steps on how to!
What You’ll need
- Your preferred cacti or euphorbia to propagate
- Clean sheers or blade
- Pot with preferred well-draining medium
- Water
Instructions:
Using clean and sanitized sheers or a blade (I am using my trusty Bloomscape pruners), make a clean cut at the base of the pup.
Place the pup cutting in bright and indirect lit, dry spot. Let the new cut callous over, this should take a few days to a week.
3. Once it's calloused and healed over, place the end of the cutting into well-draining soil. Water thoroughly.
4. Aftercare: place in bright, indirect light and keep the soil moist until it establishes mature roots.
5. Keep an eye to see if roots have grown 2", this should take about 2-6 weeks.
6. Once rooted, water normally and place by preferred light situation. For desert plants, water only when soil is bone dry
