Propagating Anacampseros (Portulacaceae) from Cuttings

Arden asked if Anacampseros variegata could be propagated from cuttings or only seeds.

Answer

Yes, cuttings work.

Take a cutting; let callous.
Place on slightly moist soil; mist every few days.
Do not water until definite new growth appears.
Then transplant.

Seeds form if flowers are pollinated, but cuttings are faster.
