Propagation question ... Conophytum herrei

[el48tel]

Knocked off a chunk of my plants. Can the piece be used to propagate it?

I expect Chris may well chip in, but conophytums are easy to propagate in their growing season from cuttings. Single heads or small groups of heads are likely to be easier than woody old stems at the base of larger clumps, I reckon.

Thanks Ralph
I'll give it a go.

Zero to very little chance of rooting conos at this time of year. They have no vigor at all to do so as they as starting the dormant period for spring & summer. If large enough it may sit there and sheath until the end of summer when it may well root, but if too small they invariably dry up before rooting. There's a comprehensive growing guide on my website, link below.
