Your first weeks together
- Leave the cutting somewhere dry and shaded for 2 to 5 days so the cut end can dry and seal.
- Push the bottom 2 to 3cm into a small pot of barely moist succulent mix and firm it in.
- Keep it in bright, indirect light and water lightly only once the mix is dry. Roots usually form in 3 to 6 weeks.
