- 1). Place newspaper over the surface on which you are working so that any spillages are easy to clean up.
- 2). Fill pots with a mixture of six parts perlite and four parts potting soil. You can also use commercially made potting mix that is specifically for cacti and succulents and has very good drainage.
- 3). Take the plant that has new off-shoot plants on it, and gently remove the soil around the base of the young plants with your fingers. Only transplant off-shoots that are two inches in height or bigger.
- 4). Gently cut each one away from the parent plant. Be careful not to damage its small roots; and transplant the off-shoot into a new pot.
- 5). Moisten the soil with water. Leave the soil to dry out completely before watering next time.
