how to grow a christmas cactus from cuttings

Growing a Christmas cactus from cuttings is a great way to add more plants to your collection or share with friends and family. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Cut off a healthy stem from the mother plant, making sure to include at least one node (the place where the leaves or flowers grow). 2. Remove any lower leaves and cut the stem into 3-4 inch pieces. Make sure each piece has at least one node. 3. Allow the cuttings to dry out for a day or two to form a callus at the base.
