I have to cut this section off the plant in order to round it off. Does anyone know the best way to propagate it to make another plant or two?

✂️ 1. Take a Cutting  
• Choose a healthy stem from the circled area, ideally 3–6 inches long.  
• Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stem just above a node or branching point.

🌬 2. Let It Callous  
• Leave the cutting to dry in a warm, dry spot out of direct sun for 2–3 days (or until the cut end is calloused). This helps prevent rot.

🌱 3. Prepare the Soil  
• Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.  
• Optionally, mix in some perlite or sand for extra drainage.

🌿 4. Plant the Cutting  
• Once the end is calloused, stick it into the soil about 1 inch deep.  
• Gently press the soil around the base to hold it steady.

💧 5. Watering and Care  
• Wait 3–5 days after planting before watering.  
• Then, water lightly—only when the soil is completely dry.  
• Place it in bright, indirect light while roots form (about 2–4 weeks).I hope this helps :)

It is. Thank you. It was a tiny little 99 cent rescue. I've had it for years. It's like a family member. lol
