Steps For Rooting
Once the cut is received, place it around 1/2 inch to 1 inch in a pot of substrate. I use wooden kebab skewers to hold up the piece. Water lightly and you should start getting new root growth within a few weeks to a few months depending on conditions.
An alternative way would be to stick them in perlite and wait for them to root, once roots form you can re-pot.
