How do you propagate a pencil plant? Can I top it and plant the top?

A succulent that looks like a lot of green pencils growing together in a small bush/tree. It gets about 4 foot tall around here and is grown in a pot.

Swapguy ~

just cut off the pieces you want. riinse off the cut end in cold water.. Now you have two options and you decide which to use..

after rinsing off the cut ends with cold water dry ends off with a paper towel dip in root tone and plant in cactus succulent soil OR

after rinsing off the cut ends with cold water dry ends off with a paper towel and let lay out to air and develope callous
on the cut ends usually 3-4 days and THEN dip in root tone and plant as above.


both methods has worked for me!!
