How to propagate Kalanchoe by cuttings

The most important point in the cutting propagation of Kalanchoe is to make sure you choose the right leaves. It is best to use large and thick leaves for cuttings. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the leaves not being shriveled or yellow. When taking the leaves, you must keep the entire leaf intact and be sure to break off the petiole and keep the complete leaf growth point, because incomplete leaves cannot take root.

Kalanchoe cutting time

Generally speaking, Kalanchoe is a plant that can be propagated by cuttings all year round, but relatively speaking, its survival rate will be higher if it is propagated by cuttings in summer and autumn. Specifically, it is best to propagate by cuttings during the period from June to September.

Kalanchoe cutting method

If you want to have a high survival rate of Kalanchoe by cuttings, first of all, you must pay attention to the flowerpot that is not too large. It is best to use a plug tray for cuttings because small containers are more suitable for its growth. Then you must pay attention to the soil that has high air permeability and water permeability. You can add a little river sand to the prepared nutrient soil, which can promote the rapid survival of Kalanchoe.

Kalanchoe cutting rooting

If your Kalanchoe cuttings are planted in sufficiently loose and breathable soil, you can water them thoroughly right after cuttings. If you have rooting liquid, you can also add a little to the water, which will help the Kalanchoe to take root quickly.
