You can propagate by cutting it at the joint, let callus over for a few days then plant in succulent soil and grow more🥰

What a lovely plant!

Be careful of the sap. It can cause skin blisters on some people.

yes, be careful with the sap! don’t rub your eyes, it can cause vision issues as well. \& don’t ingest of course (:
