Hi atokadawn
Sorry I didn't see this question earlier,,
Here's what I do,,,,,,
Cut off the pieces you want with a sterile pair of scissors,,, Let the ends callous over ,, <that may take several days)
,,,,,, Then just place the calloused end down in cactus/succulant soil mixed with potting soil,,,,,

I have pencil cactus and have started them like this many times with success!
I also take mine outside every spring and winter,,,,,, Be careful with your watering it,, and it will NOT handle frost outside,,
