A full record of the kalanchoe from cutting to bloom, follow along and a pot bursting with flowers is easy

Taking kalanchoe cuttings earlier this year, by the time they bloom a year from now the small seedlings should all have grown into large plants. I will keep updating this long-term and treat it as a record.

I chose all softwood cuttings.

This is Hongfen.

This is Guoyilian.

They are all stuck in a sand bed, and the sand was soaked with water.

After fifteen days, roots have grown.

My friend's have the most roots, no wonder their growth is so vigorous.

By comparison, Hongfen's roots grow slowly.

They are in seedling pots now, and the soil is peat soil mixed with perlite.

They are all in seedling pots now. These past few days have been overcast, so they can be put anywhere; anyway, the temperature is not high and there is no fear of them being stifled and going bad.

Kalanchoe cuttings are a very easy thing, and this season right now is just right. Actually, it can be done in all four seasons, though relatively speaking summer is stuffy and hot and the branches rot easily, while in winter roots grow a bit more slowly. Kalanchoe under a high temperature of 40 degrees still grows fairly well.

My kalanchoe is grown on the rooftop, and there are not many places that can provide shade; some have to take half a day of sun. Actually, on the rooftop, scattered sunlight is already enough. The several boxes in the photo are in the shade, receiving scattered sunlight. Your kalanchoe placed on a balcony can take the sun. As for why the leaves below are soft? Possibly: 1. the soil is too dry; 2. the soil is too wet; 3. the roots have rotted. Summer is kalanchoe's dormancy period, so it is normal for small seedlings not to grow, as long as the leaves are not soft.
