When I try to root cacti, what I do is apply a dab of cinnamon on the fleshy exposed part and really wait a long while for the plant to fully callous and form a scab, then I put it in soil. I never apply rooting hormone for them. Usually I time it when it is warmer weather to summer, when temps are really more stable. Media I use is really very course, almost more rocks than soil.« Return to the thread "Tried to root cactus, one died one may die :("
