Cathedral Cactus (Euphorbia) Pruning and Propagation

Pruning Cut Location

Cut higher on green stem, not woody base. Woody tissue won't root.

Propagation Steps

1. Callus 2 weeks (until cut hard).
2. Plant 6+ inches deep in cactus mix (if cutting ≥2 ft).
3. Water once to settle, then only when dry.
4. New growth = roots forming.

Soil

Standard cactus mix from any nursery.

Safety

White sap = toxic. Gloves, goggles. Wash immediately if contact.
