Where it thrives

Safety: Keep away from pets and kids.

Care card

Care made simple

Your first weeks together

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

Plant doctor

If you see this, do this

  • Cut end turning black and softIt's rotting from too much water. Trim above the soft part, let it dry for a few days and replant in dry mix.
  • Leaves wrinkling while rootingNormal for a few weeks: the cutting lives off its stored water until roots form.
  • No new growth after a monthBe patient. Gently tug it: if it resists, roots have formed and growth will follow.
