Care Tip: Because this is a large cutting rather than an established rooted plant, use a sturdy container with a dry, fast-draining succulent mix. Allow the base to callus if freshly cut or moist, water sparingly until roots develop, then follow a soak-and-dry routine. Start in bright filtered or partial sun and gradually increase light after establishment.
