Rooting a Broken Christmas Cactus Limb

Main Limb Broken at Joint

Can the whole limb be rooted, or must individual leaves be used?

Limb Rooting Method

1. Let broken end callus (heal) for 1 week.
2. Plant 3–4 inches deep in soil.
3. Keep slightly moist, not wet.
4. Roots in 3–4 weeks. Use Rootone (rooting hormone) if available.

Individual leaf segments also root easily, but the limb is faster.
