A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Kalanchoe cuttings, pruning and repotting

Well this was very much past due but it got done today.

My Double bloom peach kalanchoe was looking really bad so I cut off the dead and dying branches. Took 3 cuttings incase it doesn't make it and took it out of its pot and gave it a full pot of new soil. It had eaten about half the soil that was originally in the pot. Hungry little darling that it is. So now I'll hope that it becomes a happy plant again.

Anyone know how long these live as houseplants by the way?

i've had them for a few years before. i can't wait until you can post pictures.

tkhooper are you just putting the extra cuttings into water to root. I just trimmed off my daughter's plant and kept some extra cuttings. Would like to start a new plant.

i always just stuck my cuttings in the pot with the mother plant for a few weeks.

I have no luck with water rooting. I use a damp soil and indirect light. I've got my fingers crosses.

Ok I'll try that!!!!!
