A question often asked when customers receive our succulent cuttings is do they need to trim the ends before planting?

NO. You should always make sure the ends of your cuttings have a hard calloused edge/tip as this will help keep your succulent cutting from rotting when placed in soil. If a cutting arrives broken, or you accidentally break the end, just allow the cutting to dry for a few days in...
