That’s a lot of cuttings! Sometimes I root a few and put out for curb surfers. Otherwise sadly they go into the green waste can.

I've got 2 echies that need beheaded - and their babies need removed and rooted. Do others leave them outside while rooting, or bring them in? I've been planning on bringing them inside to root as I don't have a greenhouse - or a shade structure. Although, I could probably position them so they only get direct sunlight a few hours a day.

I just cut the plants pictured. I have always placed them in a shared area for a week to 10 days depending on stem size: thicker stems take longer to callous. Once calloused, I pot them up water sparingly and keep somewhat shaded until they pass the “pull test”, at which time they are slowly acclimated to full sun. A greenhouse isn’t required for any of this and any offsets you wish to propagate are removed from the stem when large enough and processed in the same manner as described above. Save the old stem as it may produce more offsets.

I too am getting ready for the haircuts,Dont know why but it is the hardest thing for me to do.
