Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Mid Summer
Dig holes or beds wide, not deep. Gently remove plants from containers, keeping the root ball intact and plant level with the surrounding soil, spreading the roots outward. Back fill around the roots with native soil then water to settle the soil around the roots. Stake large plants to prevent excess movement in strong winds.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Most cacti and succulents can be propagated by small stem cuttings that are allowed to dry out for a few days or weeks before replanting in slightly moist, well-drained potting soil.
