March 13, 2015Q.baby toes flopping over
What can I do when my baby toes flop over? Perhaps I under watered it? I have it in my window during the winter in zone 8 Oregon and watered once every 3 or so weeks. Help!

March 13, 2015A.Since overwatering is the most common mistake, I would suspect this is the case. Also, they must be planted in very well draining soil, to keep the roots from sitting in water. A shallow container works best.
Here is a link to proper care.

Let you plant soil dry, provide bright light and wait it out!

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, mixing baby toes and living rocks probably isn't a good idea. Both have low water needs to begin with, and when they go dormant, they shouldn't be watered at all. The dormant period for these two plants are actually at opposite times of the year, so planting them together would result in one always being over- or under-watered.

I would refer to the seller. Check with the companies Customer Service department for more information.Most plants also come with some care directions. Read any material providing with your plants.

February 3, 2019Q.Baby toes propagation
I have a medium sized b toes plant , see attached picture, & want to propagate it. Will the “leaves” create new roots? Or should I cut a piece of the trunk stem off to create new rooting? I am using a rooting dust on the bottom of the cut piece. Thanks!

February 4, 2019A.You can, actually, use either. A leaf will root as well as a stem (which is actually a modified leaf). Here is an article for more information on the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/baby-toes/growing-baby-toes-plant.htm
