Easter lily cactus reproduction?
Hello all,
I don't normally post on here, but I'm stumped about something. I have an Easter Lily cactus that is producing lots of little round cacti at its base. One fell right off so I want to put it in a separate pot. Any idea how I should do that? Normally I put things in water first so they can grow roots, but not sure that would be the best idea with a cactus. I also read something about letting it "callous over" before planting, but wouldn't it die without access to soil/water? I can't seem to find any info online. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here's the beauty I'm talking about, by the way:

My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
