Kalanchoe propagation is simple: just stick a cutting in soil and it will survive, no need to buy one

Kalanchoe is a flowering potted plant that many people love, with many varieties, good-looking and easy to care for. Kalanchoe is also especially easy to propagate: cut off a kalanchoe stem and stick it in soil and it will survive, so definitely don't go buy one at the flower market again.

What is the specific method? Let's take a look together!

After kalanchoe flowers fade, we normally do pruning, need to check the faded flower branches, and also prune the overall leaves of the kalanchoe. For overly dense leaves, no matter whether they are growing well or poorly, don't hold back. After cutting them off, it increases the light penetration for the kalanchoe, which can make it grow more vigorously and also make it easier for it to bloom again.

The flower branches and leaves pruned off this way, if thrown directly into the trash, would be a real pity. You can use these flower branches and leaves to propagate several more pots, so many that the balcony can't even hold them all!

Take the cut flower branches and leaves, disinfect the cut ends with carbendazim solution, let them dry thoroughly in the sun, then insert them into sandy soil. At the current higher temperatures, no need to cover with film; if it is autumn or winter when temperatures are lower, you can appropriately cover with a layer of film to speed up rooting and increase the survival rate.

After about ten days they will root, and we can observe on the flower branches that very tender small leaves will grow, indicating that they have already survived.

After surviving, transplant the propagated kalanchoe into a pot. After transplanting, one small kalanchoe has been successfully propagated. Isn't it super simple?

Let me introduce the care methods for kalanchoe

Kalanchoe likes light and needs more than six hours of light per day to bloom smoothly and bloom continuously. At the same time, when caring for kalanchoe, pay attention to ventilation to avoid pests and diseases.

Kalanchoe is a flowering plant that blooms very readily, and under normal conditions, it blooms continuously throughout the year. When it is budding, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, which serves as a temporary supply of nutrients, making the kalanchoe grow more and more vigorously.

Kalanchoe is relatively drought-tolerant, so watering should not be too frequent. Just water once the soil is dry. Its roots are all fibrous roots, and the soil should also be chosen to be loose, breathable, and well-draining to avoid root rot.

The methods for propagating kalanchoe and caring for kalanchoe are introduced here today!
