Can I take cuttings from a Cathedral cactus plant?

Our Advice:

This cactus Euphorbia trigona can root very easily from stem cuttings, if the cut surface is allowed to dry for several days before planting so that it can form a callus and not rot. Be careful when handling the cuttings, the white sap of this plant is poisonous and can cause blisters and skin irritations, especially in bright sunlight.
