Propagating Mammillaria Cactus Offsets

Propagating Mammillaria Cactus Offsets

Your clustering Mammillaria produces side shoots (pups) at the base. These are the easiest way to propagate.

Method

1. Cut offsets just below soil level with a clean knife.
2. Let cut ends dry overnight.
3. Pot in small containers with gritty, porous cactus mix.
4. Water sparingly until roots establish.

Offsets root readily. The mother plant will continue producing more over time.
