After its been left to dry and calis over, your cuttings are ready to plant. Only plant shallow, around 1-2inches. Water but do not water regularly like other plants. Cactus will still grow in soil if dry but eventually need water. Too much water could potentially cause the cactus to rot. Use a potting mixture with propagating sand. The cactus will need to breathe, and will help the roots grow strong and healthy:

Guys, after your cactus has dried and calised over, you can also get them to root simply by wetting some paper towels and placing the cacti cuttings on top instead of planting straight away you don’t have to do this, it’s more they studying key for me, and to take notice of what’s happening. If you decide to do this make sure the paper towel is not too wet but rather moist instead. If the paper towel is too wet it’s possible for rot to occur. Again make sure the cactus cutting is the right way up as the bottom will only grow roots.
