Since there are many Cacti in the garden with many off sets, I thought I could start my own collection from cuttings. Here is how I separated the offsets and planted them.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼

First thing we need to do is to get a sharp knife. Chose a straight blade, it will make a smaller wound on the mother plant. I also sterilize my knife before each cutting with alcohol, this will prevent disease from spreading from one plant to the other.

I cut the offsets at the base as much as possible, but cacti can also be propagated through portions of their stems, so in one case I cut a tip from one of the offsets, as it was quite tall.

I let the cuttings form a callus for a few days. Potting them while they are still fresh might lead to rotting or other disease. A few days in a ventilated area, preferably outside, should do the trick.

I used cactus and succulent mix from the store, which has added sand for drainage. I also use clay pots, since plastic over heats and can damage roots. I place the cuttings in the middle of the pot, burring them slightly for stability.

I water the pot until water comes out from the bottom and then let them drain. I will keep my cuttings in a sheltered place for now, which only gets morning sunshine When the cuttings will root I will move them to a much brighter location.
