Oh, they look like air roots! And the bottom pic, I can't tell if that's a single unattached piece?

Ok, if that bottom one is a separate one, it has grown roots already! You could pot it up, I think

Lauren,

The last picture, showing an individual leaf is growing roots from where it would've connected to the actual plant. It's growing similar to a succulent! Thats the best way I can describe it.

Lauren , thank youu ! && i hope someone else does too :)

Hi Sara! If you look under April Flowers, towards the end, you will see my Easter Cactus I bought the other day at Walmart also. I was impressed also by his good they looked and so full I think I will separate out to 3 plants and give 2 away.

These plants like more water and humidity than typical succulents, but if overwatered, the segments will brake off/fall off. Potting mix should still drain well and moist is suitable for plants, but not soggy. Mature segments could be propagated, sometimes they grow easily if there are 2 or 3 segments.

Do not repot if there are buds, but after flowering it may be better to pot it into 1:1 mix of C&S soil and perlite or pumice. They do not need strong light as most succulents do, but should not be in dark spot.

Thank you Rina. I've noticed also wilting if I let my red one get too dry.

So when I propagate my red one to fill up the pot, I should break off at least 2 segments? should I get it started in small container and then transplant to hanging basket later?

i do plan on letting my white one finish blooming before separating, I hope I don't injure separating the roots from each other. Any suggestions ?

Also, do you recommend fertilizing ever?

thanks for any and all info!!!

I have read that the roots should not be left to dry, and it should be potted as soon as possible; also to be more careful with handling the roots. Can't tell you much otherwise - I have repotted few of mine; one didn't survive and maybe that is the reason (I was reading about them much later after repotting :). Few single segments didn't grow either, maybe they were too small or maybe I wasn't watering them correctly. So if I try to propagate in the future, I'll try just cuttings with 2 or 3 segments. But Sara should use that single one with the roots!

I would probably stick few segments right into same pot as mother plant is, unless it is (plant) already too big. At least to see how they will do. Propagating in small containers is always OK. And I would let them grow for quite a while before repotting/handling again.

What is the reason for you wanting to separate plants you have now? Just wondering. These plants look good if the pot is 'full' - but maybe just a personal preference.

Can't tell you much about fertilizing, I have been lousy fertilizer of succulents (rather 'non-fertilizer') but I would use diluted amounts and most likely only during growing season...

Rina, thank you. The reason I thought about separating the white one is that it is soooo crowded. I fear that the bottom segments are not getting air, staying wet which might lead to rot. Perhaps it's fine, I've never had a pot so full. Here is a pic I just took, color is off because I used the flash, but you can see how crowded. Thanks again.

Very nice plant, and yes - quite crowded :) Looks like it will bloom fully right on time.

I would also try to separate, or repot into bigger container.

Thanks Rina! I'll post if I'm successful.
