@blueheart is my first one...so we'll see lol. When I first got it, a lot of the cuttings shriveled. But i repotted it in a 6" pot with succulent soil & just spray it with water. I only water it before I leave the office for the weekend. But I spray it with water when I get in & when I leav.

@blueheart so far the cuttings that survived seem to like their home! Maybe they were all just playing survival of the fittest game

So, this happened today. It's a baby but hopefully with some love, it will grow :-) Maybe I'll get blooms next year!

I just got mine a few months ago... Any idea whether they produce seeds? or if you can take cuttings of them?

I have no clue. This is my first ever...but from my research, you use cuttings to propagate cuz only mature plants produce flowers, so it could be a couple years before my produces flowers

Hmm, good to know... I got mine earlier this year but it grew flowers after just a couple months... Maybe yours will surprise you, too.
