3.Let it dry. Let the cutting dry for a few days to allow for the wound to dry and callous over.
4.Prepare a suitable potting mix for cacti with very good drainage. Place the dried cutting into a the potting mix by sticking the cut part into the soil. About ⅓ of the cutting should be planted in the soil . Pack the soil around the cutting to secure it so it does not tip over.
