RE: Succulent Kalanchoe.

in #kalanchoe7 years ago

Kalanchoe plants sense the shorter days of winter and provide your garden with clustered white to pink blooms in both winter and spring. Although these succulents can be propagated by seed in both indoor containers and outdoor gardens, growing new kalanchoe plants from leaves is much simpler and less time-consuming.

Choosing the best cutting from your kalanchoe in the late spring or early summer enables you to have a better chance at a successful new plant. As you evaluate your kalanchoe, select a 2-inch-long stem that has at least two leaves attached to it. It is good practice to avoid any flowering stems, so that the cutting concentrates on growth rather than reproduction. After removing the stem, you need to place this cutting in a dry area, such as on a gardening bench.
