Cuttings: In late spring, cut off mature leaves for cuttings, insert them in a sand bed, and they will take root after about 3 weeks; once young plants have grown, pot them up. Note that the cut should be flat, and insert only after the cut has dried. Stem-tip cuttings can also be used; leave the leaf rosette, and it can continue to produce more offsets.
