4. During the germination period of Kalanchoe, watering must be controlled, because Kalanchoe has fleshy stems and has a good ability to retain water. When there is too much water, it is easy to cause the stems to rot.

Kalanchoe leaf cuttings

1. The leaves of Kalanchoe are fleshy and contain a lot of water, so they will not die soon after leaving the plant. If there is moisture in the soil at this time, new small plants will grow from the leaves, just like succulents.

2. The leaves for leaf cuttings must be dried first. Then you have two options. One is to put the leaves in the cultivation medium for cuttings. The medium can be mixed with vermiculite and perlite in a ratio of 4:1. The other method is to use the hydroponic method to let the leaves take root first and then cut them, which can increase the survival rate.

Cuttings after flowering of Kalanchoe

The meristem of the Kalanchoe after it has bloomed is relatively active, and using such branches for cuttings can greatly increase the survival rate.

1. Select the branches of Kalanchoe that have bloomed, cut off the flowers, and make a cutting at each node.

2. After pruning, plant the cuttings into a loose and breathable substrate and water them thoroughly. During the maintenance period, do not water too much. Before new leaves grow, place it in a place with scattered light. After the new leaves grow, place it in a place with sufficient light for maintenance.

Kalanchoe water plug

1. For flower lovers whose stems always rot after cuttings, Huahua recommends that you use the water cutting method to root them first. First, cut healthy Kalanchoe cuttings and place them in a ventilated place to dry the wounds.

2. Apply a little rooting powder on the end of the cutting, and then insert it into the hydroponic medium. Be careful not to let the leaves get wet.

3. After about two weeks, the Kalanchoe will grow new buds and roots, and then it can be potted.
