And I picked up these guys at lowes, should be repotting soon, not sure what I want to put them in yet! Always stopped to look at the bigger ones at lowes then they had a shipment of a bunch of smaller pots with assorted colors and I couldnt resist. If anyone has any advice it'd be appreciated, one of my first few non-succulent plants! I heard you can propagate these guys by cuttings (once they get bigger of course) any tricks to it? Do the cuttings need to callous over like succulents? #polkado

If you hit the #polkadotplant tag, you will find other users that have it and can follow them or ask questions. Also - if you look further into the 📖 #encyclopedia link above your picture, there would be information about the plant, planting, watering and #propagation for it. But, yes, I believe it can be started as water rooted cuttings!

Mine have self-seeded for years. I have never even attempted to propagate them, just enjoy their prolific seeding. (I have never even seen their seeds)
