A better way is to take cuttings from the stems, root them in water and replant them as new plants. I divided my plant with cuttings and now have 4 plants from one main plant.

Hi Pari
Early to mid spring is the best time to take cuttings and repot your Kalanchoe.

Do I need to let the cutting dry for a couple days first? What is the best way to go about rooting the plant in water? <blockquote>Hi Winter It’s better to root the cutting in soil. Cuttings rooted in water will have a more difficult time to transitioning to soil. If rooting in water, let the cutting dry for a couple of days to form a callus and then place in water. It should root in 1-3 weeks.</blockquote> Propagating Kalanchoe

Hi Winter
It’s better to root the cutting in soil. Cuttings rooted in water will have a more difficult time to transitioning to soil. If rooting in water, let the cutting dry for a couple of days to form a callus and then place in water. It should root in 1-3 weeks.
