Kalanchoe cuttings

1. Cutting time

Kalanchoe has a strong growth ability and can be propagated by cuttings throughout the year. However, the best time to take cuttings is still spring and autumn. Because the climate during these two periods is relatively suitable and stable, it is very suitable for the growth of cuttings. In addition, these two periods are also the time when the plants grow fastest. After being planted, the branches can grow and survive quickly.

2. Cutting method

1. Leaf cuttings: Select some thick leaves from the healthy mother plant and pick them off gently. Then treat them with disinfectant, wash them with clean water and let them dry. Then prepare some flower soil with good air permeability, gently insert them into the soil, and water them once to completely wet the flower soil. Then provide a temperature of around 15-20℃ and a small amount of sunlight, and wait for them to grow roots.

2. Branch cuttings: Select 2-3 healthy and strong branches from the mother plant, cut them, then cut the bottom at a 45° angle and remove all the leaves at the bottom, leaving only 2-3 leaves. Then, disinfect the cut end and insert it into soft flower soil, maintaining a temperature of 15-20℃. When the soil becomes dry, water it immediately. It will soon begin to grow new roots.
