Via cuttings or seeds

Cut offshoots

The offspring is done by shoot or leaf cuttings. However, this depends on how the Kalanchoe has grown. Some plants do not shoot longer, so you can only use individual leaves in this case.

Shoot cuttings

For these you will need shoots with at least two pairs of leaves. Separate these and remove the lower pair of leaves. Then do the following:

• Cultivation pots with Potting soil to fill.
• Put the cuttings cut at an angle into the soil.
• Moisten the substrate with a sprayer.
• To create a greenhouse climate, put a transparent plastic bag or a hood over the pots.
• Place in a bright but sunny, warm place.
• Ventilate daily and keep it evenly moist.

Leaf cuttings

First, tear off a sheet. Cut off the jagged edges and wrap a fine flower wire around the cutting, with which you can keep it evenly moist Growing substrate(€ 12.99 at Amazon *) attach. The new plants form within about three weeks directly on the trimmed edges.

As soon as the plants are about two to three centimeters in size, they are detached and converted into a mixture of peat and sand.

Propagation by seeds

If you want to propagate the plant in this way, you must first pollinate the flowers with a brush. Do not cut out what has withered, but wait until seeds have formed.

It is sown on succulent soil, as this offers the optimal germination conditions. Sprinkle the seeds on the moistened substrate, they will not be covered with soil. Place the vessels in a bright place with temperatures of at least 21 degrees all day.

The seeds will start to germinate after just ten days, and after about six weeks you can separate the plants continue to care for the mother plant.
