Follow these steps to do it correctly.

Kalanchoe is a very common succulent: it is an easy-to-grow plant, suitable even for the inexperienced, and characterized by colorful and long-lasting flowers.

To propagate it there are several steps, simple and specific, but fundamental for the success of the operation.

So let’s see how to do it.

  1. Season: To best propagate this plant, a mild temperature is essential, neither too hot nor too stiff. For this reason, it is advisable to do it at the beginning of spring.
  2. Soil: For Kalanchoe cuttings, loose, draining soil is ideal, to prevent the accumulation of excess water.
  3. Cuttings: Choose mature branches and make a clean and precise cut. If there are flowers, they should be removed; as well as the lower leaves. Also, be sure to use clean, sanitized scissors. Place them on the ground about 1 cm deep.
  4. Water: Wet immediately after inserting the twigs into the soil, but make sure you don’t overdo it. A small amount of water will suffice, otherwise the twigs will rot before developing roots.
  5. Position: Place the pot in a shaded area, away from direct light for at least a week continuing to give water when needed.
  6. Roots: After 10-15 days the cuttings will have developed small roots. At this point, transplant them individually into a pot.
