The most common method of propagating cacti is the Cutting method. Cutting cacti depends on the season and the best season for it is early summer. They are grown in a light bed and environment with sufficient moisture with regular irrigation.
But before the cactus cuttings, especially carnivorous cacti such as cereus, enter the culture media, the leachate of the plant must be cut off.

Growing cacti:
The soil composition of cacti should be sand and clay and a higher percentage of sand or gravel. Cacti need regular watering at longer intervals than usual plants, and the number and frequency of watering can be adjusted depending on the growth rate and season.
