It's already a fully functioning plant so we will be able to immediately begin care. To see how they develop, I will be watching them closely. Potassium is essential in keeping succulents healthy and moving nutrients and water through the length of the plant. More than likely there won't be any roots, so you shouldn't water it until they show up. This is a very simple process, and there aren’t any instructions or guidelines that can be used to help you. Most padded cacti should have a weak connection between their pads so you can easily break it (just like the leaves). Unfortunately, there are no naturally red cacti, but you can find grafted varieties or graft them yourself. This method offers the advantage that you start off with a fully grown firestick plant sap on skin. The stem, roots, and leaves are all there.

It is important to note that this method does not produce a lot of fruit. Last note: Don't discard the bottom, rooted halves of the cutting. That being the case, the line between cutting and budding propagation can get blurry.
