length.
Method B: Direct Soil Rooting (Stronger Root Structure)
Fill a 6-inch clay or terracotta pot with a light, gritty potting mix (such as 50% succulent/cactus mix and 50% perlite).
Moisten the soil lightly and press the calloused stem core 1 inch deep into the medium. Press the soil firmly around the base to hold the crown upright.
Place in a warm spot with bright light. Soil-rooted crowns skip the transplant shock of water-grown roots.
