Which month should I plant cactus cuttings?

1. Cutting time

Because cactus cuttings can grow roots at the fastest speed in an environment of 20-25℃, it is more suitable to be propagated in April-May in spring or August-September in autumn. Depending on where you live, the best time for cuttings may vary slightly. If you are indoors, you can take cuttings all year round.

2. Cutting method

1. Choose cuttings: Select a well-growing, relatively full old leaf from a healthy mature plant and gently pick it off from the base. Then put it in a ventilated semi-shaded place and wait for the wound to dry completely.

2. Prepare the flower soil: It is easier to take root in softer, sandy flower soil. Therefore, it is best to mix sandy leaf mold and fine sand to make its flower soil.

3. Carry out cuttings: Put the flower soil into a well-ventilated flowerpot, and add a little water to wet the soil. Then insert the dried leaves into the soil with the wound facing down.

4. Later maintenance: move it to a relatively warm, well-ventilated environment and provide slight shade. During this period, spray water from time to time to keep the soil slightly moist. Wait for a while and it will take root.
