How Does Kalanchoe Reproduce? Introduction to Common Propagation Methods

Kalanchoe is a common type of succulent plant, with leaves just like a bird's feathers, which is why succulent enthusiasts call it Kalanchoe. So, how does Kalanchoe reproduce?

1. How Does Kalanchoe Reproduce

Kalanchoe is usually propagated by cuttings, and cuttings can be taken throughout the year. Break off a small offset from a strong, vigorous Kalanchoe succulent, then plant it in suitable potting soil; do not use clay, as it is not good for aeration. During later care, keep it in sufficient light, and it will grow more and more beautiful.

2. Watering Methods for Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is really quite drought-tolerant. In the rainy summer season, its water requirements are even lower, so at this time you must control watering; it must not be waterlogged or exposed to rain, otherwise its roots will rot, and in severe cases the whole plant will die. And when the temperature is especially high and there is little rain, then it only needs a moderate amount of watering.

In autumn, less watering is needed. At this time the temperature gradually drops, and Kalanchoe's growth gradually slows down. Do not water too much, so as not to disrupt Kalanchoe's growth pattern and cause leggy growth.
