As with most heuffelii, the method of propogation is by off-sets. However, this is slightly tricky. On plants that are two or more years old, you can sometimes break the off-sets from the parent plant but this is not recommended. What is recommended is, use a sharp knife and cut the off-set from the parent plant getting some root on the off-set. Off-sets from heuffelii will not survive without some root attached.
