Here’s how you can propagate a mistletoe cactus by stem cuttings in a few easy steps: Using a sterilized pair of sharp scissors or pruning shears, take 3-4 inch cuttings from your plant. Set the fresh cuttings in a cool, dry location for 24 hours so that the cut end can callous over before planting.
Propagation. While Christmas cacti can be propagated from seed, the easiest and fastest way to propagate them is from cuttings. Propagation from cuttings should be done in the warm growing months, April through September. Wait until at least a month after flowering to take cuttings. Photo by Kristina Hicks-Hamblin. frRZe.
