About a year ago I found out that you clip a stem off and let it sit someplace without water or soil for about 3 weeks and then either set the ends in water or pot it and it will grow. My friend that I gave about a dozen such clippings to a year ago, now has a wonderful large plant that also blooms regularly.
Oh my golly ghee! What a beautiful display of cactus plants! I had not heard of the drying of the clippings and then rooting them! I may have to give that a shot! Thanks for sharing your lovely plants with us!
