Propagation cacti can be planted directly through seeds. But this method is not often used, because the process from sowing to germination to growing into a plant is very long, and the germination rate of sowing can not be guaranteed. So planting it is more commonly used way or cutting, not only easy to survive, but also used for a short time.
1. Time: in spring, summer and autumn.
2. Material: select the old and tender stems, which are too old or too tender for rooting. After selection, it should be separated from the mother plant with a sterilized knife. Then, dry it in a well ventilated place. About five days to a week, you can dry it. At this time, it can be observed that the cortex shrinks inward and there is a film
3. Matrix: the matrix can be sand, but it needs to be disinfected before use.
4. Cutting: insert the stem into the sterilized substrate, with a depth of about 3cm. After that, water it to keep it moist, but not too wet to cause rot. It will take about twenty days to take root.
5. Transplantation: after the root is born, it can be transplanted and planted. It's better to do it on a sunny day, prepare the flowerpot and new substrate, and transplant the new plant with roots.
