Hi, someone gave me quite a big cactus arm that broke off the main plant
about a year ago.

They say it's still possible to plant it and grow it.

Is this true? I've planted arms that have only just dropped off with
considerable success.

It is very likely to be true. How big is it?

Big, 6 or 7 inches long and about 2.5 wide.

I put it straight into the only pot available - one without a hole in
the bottom.

I think it would be best if I move it into one with drainage so I can do
soak / totally dry out cycles (this has worked before). Would anyone
disagree with this?

Thanks very much for the replies.
