I got my cactus from a adjectives wasnt even dirt.how do I give a friend a adjectives.The person that give it to me told me she cut it and put the cuttings in sand for a few weeks? sounds crazy is this right?
Answers: That is correct, pencil cactuses will lift hold from a stem cutting within damp sand. I would agree to the cut end dry out for in the order of a week to callous over previously sticking it in the sand, however so it won't rot. It is a honest idea to dip it contained by Rootone or another rooting hormone, that will help it along.
If it is the Euphorbia pencil cactus it will enjoy a white sap that will irritate your skin and eyes so handle it supportively.
If it is the Rhipsalis pencil cactus, there will be no sap so no problem. Same rooting technique, you may not call for the rooting hormone.
