Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of death for Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. In winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant enters a dormant phase.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove faded flowers and leggy stems. Pinch back the tips of young plants to promote branching. Pruning can be done anytime, but is best after flowering.
Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
