Question

cactus   hi
I have a cactus I think it is mammillaria
my question is what is the proper way and time to propagate this cactus ?

Answer
Hi Sara,

This type of cactus grows in clusters with side shoots or baby plants emerging alongside. These side shoots can be cut below the soil surface, let dry over night and potted in their own small pots filled with a gritty, porous potting mix.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
