not that way… you put it into dirt after the wound healed over

just snap off a 3-4 segment stem, let it dry (callous) for a few days to prevent rot, then stick the cut end in moist cactus soil or a glass of water (with just the tip touching) in bright, indirect light until roots form in a few weeks, creating many new plants.
I would Just put in soil would be much easier than in water. 🤗 Good luck to you.

You can just stick it right in the soil as long as you don’t let it dry out. I like to propagate those in damp vermiculite. They root really fast.

The soil method of propagating these is much simpler. N the beginning your cutting g may start to look a bit wilted. Don’t let this fool you. I nursed a section appx 6” long in soil. I was told it was dead/ dying & not to bother. After whispering sweet nothings to her, she finally started growling ew baby leaves !! The water method just doesn’t work with these, imo. Good luck.

Yes. She can do it in water or in soil. I have so many propagating right now. Here are two of mine in water that have roots. I have about 6 with roots in water and about 10 in soil. I haven’t checked the ones in soil as it’s only been a couple weeks and I don’t want to disturb them.
