u can plant directly in soil js make it humid if its easier than chopsticks  
either way i love the diy

Will do, thanks. I have no idea what I’m doing so I just slapped it in a cup of water and used chopsticks to hold it up lol.

Even using a small to-go container with a lid works to create the high humidity. Don’t buy anything fancy

In my experience, christmas cactus plants are super easy to propagate. I just stuck mine in some soil without doing anything else and it started rapidly growing new leaves after like 4 months

Love the chopsticks :) I propagated mine in shot glasses in water. All cuttings grew roots pretty quickly 🌿🌿🌿
