Propagating Christmas/Easter Cactus from Cuttings

Simple Steps for Holiday Cactus Cuttings

  1. Take 2–4 segment cuttings; let callus overnight.
  2. Root in 50/50 potting mix & cactus mix in small terra cotta pot.
  3. Insert half a segment deep; rooting hormone optional.
  4. Bright indirect light, warm. Water when surface dry.
  5. After 4–6 weeks, increase light slightly; dilute monthly fertilizer.
  6. Don't repot until very potbound—tight pots drive growth.
