How to propagate cactus by cuttings

1. Cutting method

1. Cut cuttings: Cut cuttings from the mother plant of the cactus. The knives used must be disinfected first and can be wiped with alcohol. The cuttings must have good growth potential, and mature and healthy nodes will be easier to survive.

2. Prepare the substrate: It likes a substrate with good air permeability, so you should purchase or prepare the substrate for cuttings in advance. If the air permeability is poor, it will easily cause the cuttings to rot.

3. Dry the cuttings: After cutting the cuttings used for propagation, you need to apply some carbendazim to avoid rot as much as possible. Then place it in a ventilated place without sunlight to dry, and when the cut becomes dry, it can be used for cuttings.

4. Carry out cuttings: Insert the dried cactus stem sections into the potting soil. Water it to keep the soil slightly moist. Finally, just place it in a place with good air circulation and wait for about a week for it to grow roots.

2. Precautions

After cutting the cuttings, they need to be dried in the sun. If juice still flows out of the cut during grafting, it will not take root normally and the grafting may fail. Therefore, be sure to dry it for a few days after cutting.
