My prickly pear plant (Opuntia microdasys) fell over in the wind today and a paddle broke off. Luckily it was a clean cut so I decided to just drop it into a pot and hope it grows!
Also in the pot is an unidentified aloe cutting from the plant beside it. No clue what that is but it's been doing alright despite not being in the desert!
Didn't know that. I cut a weird 10 cm long offshoot off of a cactus a few years ago and planted it right away. I must've gotten lucky.
It's a bit easier with cacti especially if you aren't overwatering them. Succulents are a lot more susceptible to rot.
I specifically got the cactus because I'm incredibly bad at remembering to water plants.
