Hi everyone, so I've been meaning to cut up and propagate this unhappy cactus for a while. Unfortunately it's got bored of waiting for me, took matters into its own hands and dramatically threw itself off of the mantelpiece. There are some fairly intact bits that I will stick in soil after they've calloused. But does anyone have any suggestions for any of the broken up bits? Or has anyone managed to water propagate a prickly pear?

    prickly pear is wonderful at propagating. you can stick them straight into soil and it'll root in three weeks. i've never owned one but i know people that do have them, and prickly pear is GREAT at propping.
