Long time lurker, but first time poster. I included pictures of my crown of thorns plants. People have been asking if I can give them a cutting, but I wouldn't even know where to cut it and I really don't want to mess up the plants. Advice?

I’ve only done it once so I could have gotten lucky lol
USE GLOVES. The sap is sticky and can be irritating to skin.
I cut about a 10cm stem (so I’d just cut one of your branches that’s growing off the main stem)
I dip the cut end in cinnamon powder or run it under cold water until the sap stops dripping.
Once the stem is dried and calloused over, I planted it in soil amongst similar plants.
It worked!
(Full Disclosure: I have also had many cuttings die haha)
Also a long time ago, my Mum picked up a broken piece on the ground and we planted it. Went fantastically!
