How to Root a Cactus Offset (WITH RESULTS!) | Propagate a Cactus

This is an update and a continuation of a previous video that I made on Cutting and Rooting a columnar cactus. This time around, it is time to propagate the offsets that formed at the base of the Myrtillocactus geometrizan cactus.

Thank you so much, my cactus has around 20 babies and I had been wandering around youtube trying to find a clear video. I really appreciate your clarity and look forward to checking out your other videos. Much ❤ 🇦🇺

An old lady told me if you need to move and repot a large heavy cactus, you can use two pieces of styrofoam to handle it safely. good video Ana. I have been using your cinnamon idea and have some pups and cutting doing well, thanks.

When seed grown this cactus naturally has a skinny base, which is able to support the thicker growth above. Ones with thick bases were grown from cuttings. ~ I love the photos of this species in habitat in Mexico. 12 feet tall and 15 feet wide! The cultivars, crest, etc. of this guy are also so cool.

I’ve often had success rooting cactus and succulent cuttings by just sticking them into the soil, but the extra steps, like letting the cut end dry and applying cinnamon and/or rooting powder, can’t hurt, and they may help.

Thanks for posting this. I am moving and had no idea what to do with my beloved cactus. I have to cut off a really large arm and now I can do it!!

[dianewest]

Thanks for this great video. Just got a piece of damaged columnar cactus from a neighbor & cut off damaged part but not at a joint. I watched this & I’m going to follow this simple video & I’m hoping it will work the same for me. It seems super easy.

Thank you so much for making this video. I am so glad that you posted this video just in case I have the same problem. Wonderful video Ana!

I hope this pair of plants are still doing well,
Thanks again for a great vid, Bill.

Great video. One thing of note for a lot of people they don't pay attention to the concentration in their rooting powder, of the act of chemical.
They all vary widely and can have either a positive or quite negative effect or very little effect at all. Cactus typically looking at a little bit above 1% maybe 1.3 which isn't really the easiest to find. A lot of them are either extremely low or extremely high

Your videos are so helpful! Can’t wait to propagate my very tall and top heavy cactus now. Using tongs is a great tip.

This is a FANTASTIC video Ana :-D and very informative on how to root Columnar cactus offsets, and wonderful that you have shown the success with the rooting too, thanks so much for sharing, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a wonderful day XXXX <3

[mgklivisi]

Very nice and informative video! I've learnt how to propagate by the pops or how to induce the pops. Thanks for sharing and happy growing.

Merry Christmas Ana, I use your rooting method and it's given me good results all the time, I wouldn't change the method, it works. Great video.

Thank you so much, I (think) have a Saguaro Cactus in my home, it looks like your typical Cactus you see in cartoons :) I've been terrified of taking a couple of limbs off as they are colliding with others and it looks crowded. Having watched a few online tutorials I didn't get that warm fuzzy feeling but having watched yours I feel confident enough to tackle this now and the thought of having some mini-me Cactus growing along side papa Cactus sounds great.
