Cuttings allow to preserve all species characteristics, presentable appearance of an adult bush. The fact is that the flowering Kalanchoe will be beautiful at the expense of such reproduction. Otherwise, the stem begins to stretch strongly during the vegetative period, instead of the lush green bush, long, almost bare branches remain.
Propagation of calanchoe at home by cuttings
In this section we will discuss stem cauliflowers. This method among the methods of reproduction of the Kalanchoe is suitable for all species that can bloom . As soon as the plant finishes to please you with its flowers, you can start preparing seedlings. To do this, cut off the upper parts of the shoots. They will be easy to determine. After flowering, all the peduncles on the bush leave ugly voids, since they themselves are rather fleshy and large in size. So you need to delete them, if you want to keep your bush in its original form.
Reproduction by stem cuttings is also suitable for very branching species of Kalanchoe. These are usually ampelian plants with more elegant stems. A typical representative is Kalanchoe Mangina. Such plants will look beautiful in pots only on the condition that they are constantly pricked. Then the branches become more lush and dense. And these jaws will become the way to get cuttings.
What should be noted when multiplying and harvesting the planting material of a flowering Kalanchoe, we will consider below:
- the most important is to correctly select the stem by its shape, since it is the original appearance of the seedling that directly affects the final form of the adult bush;
- your goal is an even shoot about 8 cm into the din, necessarily with short interstices;
- when planting in the soil, the lower leaves of the seedlings should almost lie on the surface of the soil;
- Once the seedling has taken root, it should be plucked to provoke active growth and begin to form a bush;
- This process takes about a month, no matter what,
will use a light loose soil or water for rooting.
Vegetative reproduction of Kalanchoe by leaf
It is even easier to propagate by leaf cuttings, if the bush of the Kalanchoe is relatively young or the flowering at home is not for him for various reasons. You can always take a sheet, and you do not need to pick up a fresh beautiful one, even a fallen person will suffice.
In this and all the charm of the work: the fallen leaf is enough to either place it in a glass with water, or put it in the soil and cover it with polyethylene. The most favorable period for the reproduction of Kalanchoe in this way is the very end of May and the beginning of June, when the cuttings will be strong.
