    • 1). Fill a planter with potting mix formulated for growing cacti. Irrigate it until water drips from the drainage holes.

    • 2). Break a leaf off the burro's tail by hand.

    • 3). Push the leaf's cut end into the cacti mix. Leave the tip exposed. Roots appear in a few weeks. Do not cover the pot with plastic; irrigate after the soil dries somewhat to prevent rot.

    • 4). Transplant the rooted burro's tail outside if you live in the right climate. If you don't, leave the plant where it is until it outgrows the pot.
