Cactus Propagation I am trying to figure out the best way to propagate my cactus. In the image with the arrows I’m trying to decide which cactus leaf would be best to remove, the blue arrow, the pink, yellow, or two or three? I want to keep this cactus healthy, but it would be nice to have two propagates in case one fails. Is it best to twist the leaf off, or cut it? I believe I should then dip it in root hormone do I do that immediately or let it callous over first? If I let it callous how long do I wait to put the hormone on? I’m guessing it would then be best to place directly into cactus/succulent soil, versus water? I’m very confused on the timing of removal, root hormone, then when to put it in soil/water. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Ive got the same question. I've never propped a cactus. My co-worker gave me a leaf the other day. I let it sit out almost 3 days. I put some powder on it and put it in soil this morning. Not sure if it was right or not. It's strange to not watch roots grow before potting it 🙄

    I grew this one from an almost dessicated leaf I found on the floor. Just sticked it halfway into soil. Give yours some time and it will grow just fine.

      Also I didn't use any rooting hormone and you can easily let the leaf callous for a week.
