They strike fairly easily from cuttings. Faucaria candida is, I believe, the only white flowered one...
I've misseed most of my yellow ones, can't seem to get home early enough to catch them open... but I did manage to get this one the other day...

| as a follow on from my previous posting. took the knife to the healthiest faurcaria . one section treated as I do most of my succulents. other one placed into the propagator for extra warmth. will keep upating as to which gives best results. |
