Care Tips

Because this is a large cutting, place in a sturdy container with a dry, fast-draining succulent mix and support if needed. Allow the base to callus if freshly cut or moist. Water very sparingly until roots begin developing, then transition to a soak-and-dry routine. Start in bright filtered or partial sun and gradually increase sunlight after establishment.
