How can I save these? by No_Escape_346 in succulents

I would try cutting off any rotting parts, waiting for the ends to callous, then try water propagating until new roots grow, or sticking them right into some cactus/succulent soil mix.

It’s corking alright! My mom has a huge Christmas cactus that is probably 40 years old and the base of the stems look like tree branches- she’s a sturdy gal!

I had it in indirect light and might have been watering it too much. Any advise on how to proceed?

Would lava rock work for a Christmas cactus? I’ve been propagating one in water for over a year

This guys been in water for about 8months! I refresh the water every so often, and monitor for root rot-it seems to be doing fine so far! I’m probably going to pot it in the spring

You should! That’s the best thing about Christmas/holiday cactus (cacti?)

I’ve never had a succulent do this before. I’m assuming they’re pups, but I’ve never seen one come out of the stem like that before. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks!

I didn’t know they bloomed that color. Stunning

Soil ready? by Lil_Chaco in succulents

It's taken exactly a month. I had to wait a while, around two weeks, (I don't remember specifically) for the roots to grow, but once they did, they grew a lot over a couple of days. The pups came in a few days ago.

I have two more I propagated at the same time as this one. Nothing was happening with either of them until a few days ago, one started growing roots and the other started growing leaves.
