How to propagate the palace lantern Kalanchoe

Branch cuttings

Like Kalanchoe, the Palace of Kalanchoe is a succulent plant. It is very easy to propagate it using cuttings. Now many flower lovers in the flower-growing encyclopedia share the branches of the Palace of Kalanchoe by ordinary mail, and it is easy to grow a pot of it.

I won’t go into detail about the essentials of cuttings. Just choose the branches and stick them into the soil. Under normal circumstances, they can survive. But there is one situation: it is difficult to take root when the soil is not suitable. Many flower lovers use pure vermiculite or perlite for cuttings. This medium has good air permeability and is easier to survive. However, if you choose garden soil or soil with poor air permeability, cuttings will become much more difficult.

Leaf propagation

The leaves of the Kalanchoe japonica are relatively easy to propagate, and the cutting cycle is short. Thin heels can be sent out in a week, and seedlings can grow from the leaves after 10 days. The specific method is:

Break off the leaves of the Kalanchoe with your hands, remember not to use a knife, and dry the leaves slightly in a cool place. Then place them in a flowerpot tray or other container with the roots facing up. After 1 to 2 days, the leaves will be slightly dry and you can spray them with water appropriately, but don't spray them every day. Place it on the balcony and roots will emerge in about a week.
