How to propagate a cactus
About the introduction of how to propagate this cactus and the time and method of cactus cutting, if there is any wrong information, please correct it!
How to propagate a cactus? Cactus is one of the easiest plants to survive in our cultivation, but sometimes it is prone to rotting roots and stems after cutting, which is due to improper operation. I'll briefly explain how to prevent rot and the method to root directly.
The cactus we cut, whether old or young, big or small, can be propagated. The first thing to do after cutting is to apply a fungicide to the cut wound to prevent it from turning yellow or rotting. After applying, place it in a cool and well-ventilated place to dry, and it can even be dried for a month. Generally, we dry it for more than a week to allow the wound to dry and start to scab. At this point, we can propagate directly.
When propagating cacti, it is necessary to use loose and breathable soil, and the particle soil must account for more than half. This way, it can grow well without transplanting. Even if you use garden soil, if the cactus is well dried, it can still root after propagation. However, if the soil has poor drainage, the roots or stems are prone to rot later on, so it's best to use loose and breathable soil.
After inserting the cactus into the loose and breathable soil and drying the wound, water it thoroughly and place it in a scattered light environment, maintaining good ventilation. It can root in no more than a week, which is really easy. When the roots grow well and the apical buds start to grow, you can periodically apply some fertilizer and provide sufficient light to ensure good growth.

The propagation of cactus stem segments is this simple. It is essential to dry the wound, apply fungicide to the wound, use loose and breathable soil, and most importantly, maintain good ventilation. If these points are taken care of, every cactus leaf cutting can survive.
