Choose a healthy parent cactus
Wear gloves and use clean, sharp tools
Propagate by stem cuttings, offsets, or seeds
For stem cuttings, cut a healthy section from the parent plant
Let the cutting dry and form a callus for several days to a few weeks
Use a well-draining cactus potting mix
Plant the callused end in dry soil
Keep the cutting in bright, indirect light
Water lightly only after roots begin to form
Avoid overwatering
For offsets, gently separate the pup from the parent plant
Let the offset callus before planting
Place seeds on the surface of moist cactus mix
Keep seeds warm and lightly moist until germination
Transplant once new growth is established
