mornin' :smoke out:
im goig to guess you mean via cuttings or plant types that produce adventitious roots then yes i have,both succulents and cacti...all the prickly pear type cactus in the yard that are native were propagated from cuttings,a few of the hedgehog cactus and some of the hesparaloe are also from cuttings,any of the rarer or larger cactus that i have that didnt come from seed grown nursery stock are all properly tagged and came from a licensed person who can legally remove cactus from new construction areas...
im about to add a new in ground area to the yard featuring all the types of barrel cactus that will survive the winter,already have three types scattered around but this will be a concentrated area of them...

wow thats a beautiful flower man!

Cacti can be propagated using just the Aerials. Its harder for some than others. I asked because I don't know any hobbyists whom do it besides my teacher at school who has a massive very rare succulent collection and he propagates everyway - seed - cuttings - aerials - pupps.

PLEASE tell me you have bromeliads!

missed a bunch of cactus flowering,but mostly ones shown here before...
not this one,wasnt expecting to see this bloom this summer since it had a hard time adjusting to being in the ground,could be a risky one this winter...growing well though..

my front yard used to be basically nothing but untended weeds but now its like a little wildlife oasis,i went really heavy on the butterfly and hummingbird attracting plants,lots of seed producing stuff as well so plenty of critter food available in the yard so i see all sorts of little lizards and bird and insects of every sort now so its a lively spot now that theres some cover,be nice when the trees mature a bit and theres some serious shade going on...

oh yeah,theres quite a bit of olfactory stimulus happening out there,some of the cactus are actually pretty perfume-y and many of the desert plants really crank up the enticing aromas.

the veggie garden is finally moving along,planted really late this year...
