Find a bright location where there is morning sun, this is great for enhancing vibrant colours. Too much afternoon sun can burn them especially in summer in QLD.

Must let soil dry up for 2-3 days between watering is ideal.

Sprinkled a bit more soil to fill the pot and ensure cuttings can stand up.

Cuttings will start to root from 2-4 weeks, some might take a little longer than others but be patient as these succulents are self-sustainable and can take care of themselves for longer period.

Eventually, move them into individual containers to suit your desires.
