When taking cuttings, first cut a length of stem from the mother plant, use a blade to cut the leaf off along the base of its stalk, rinse the cut with fresh tap water, then place it in a ventilated, shady spot. Once the sap at the wound has dried, insert it diagonally into the medium to a depth of 2-3 cm. After inserting, firm the medium, then water, and spray the cuttings and the surrounding area once with a 50% wettable powder.

Kalanchoe Cutting Method 2: Requirements for Different Time Periods
On the second day after taking kalanchoe cuttings, spray the cuttings once with a 0.1% mixture of sucrose and urea. Because kalanchoe is a succulent plant with a high water content in its tissues, it should not be watered too frequently at ordinary times; if the medium is too wet, the roots are prone to rot, so water once every 2-3 days. On rainy days, take care to protect it from rain. After about half a month it will root, and after 3-4 weeks the callus tissue at the base of the leaf stalk can grow small tiller buds. Once the tiller buds emerge from the soil, spray once with a 0-2% mixture of monopotassium phosphate and sucrose.

After that, spray once every 10 days with a 0.5% foliar nutrient solution for flowers. After a month and a half, it can be potted up and transplanted. The potting soil is best as a well-drained, loose, fertile sandy loam. After potting, water once every 2-3 days. In winter, if the temperature falls below 5°C, move it indoors to overwinter.
