    Many, if not all, pachypodiums are propagated via cuttings or seeds. The exact technique/method with a somewhat mature plant...I don't know. However, there are professionals that may help. https://highlandsucculents.safeserver.com/default.htm They do quite a bit of pachypodium propagation. If you e-mail or call them, they might be able to give you the best advice.

    Sorry, I thought they would be more open to giving a fellow pachypodium grower some help.

    All I have read has said that you can take a cutting, let the underside callous over for a day or two, then plant, and keep it somewhat moist until the roots begin to develop, then gradually back off on the watering. Personally, I have done this with many other succulent species (crassula, stapelia, euphorbia, etc.) with success, just not my "pachys". I have a sampling of four different pachypodium, but they are still pretty small.
