Kalanchoe Leaves - Growing Guide

1.
Your fresh leaf cuttings should have callused over during their journey to you in the mail.

2.
Place the leaf cutting flat on a growing medium, do not place the cut end into the medium.

3.
Make sure the leaf is placed the right way up; the same way it grows on the plant. The roots will form on the bottom and the plant from the top of the cut end.

4.
Place the cuttings in a warm sunny spot. Propagations need warmth to get going.

5.
You can mist the cutting occasionally, let he medium dry out completely between misting.

6.
Once the parent leaf has shrivelled up and some nice roots and a small plant have formed, the parent leaf will just fall away from the new plant.

7.
You can now transplant the new plant into a small pot and treat it as a new plant.
