Thank you for this I've just got my 1st one today for mothers day and lord it was in need of severe help and a makeover was well needed so your video taught me how to deadhead these. I love gardening and I've never had a plant like this the leaves are unique and thick almost rubber texture to them

Thank you!! My husband brought me this plant home from the store and I had no idea how to care for it. I have had it for 4 months (it's the red one) on a table in my kitchen window. It's flowering like crazy, but I also have a lot of dead flowers and was scared to just start pruning as I was not sure how it would respond. This was so helpful! I will trim it. It's really happy and has been getting bigger and still flowering.
Thats wonderful your Husband bought you this beautiful Kalanchoe blossfeldiana plant, its a beautiful plant to grow and giving it a prune will help it grow compact and also encourages re blooming, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
Thank you so so much! What a wonderfully informative video. I've been leaving the spindly bits because I wasn't sure HOW to pinch until you showed us :) Thank you so much! I've got a lovely white kalachoe that's flourishing (no flowers right now) but that I now know how to prune even better because of you!

Heyy firstly wanna say i LOVE your accent, it sounds really musical! Second, thank you for the pruning tips, I've got 3 kalanchoe so it's helped me a lot. And third, so so awesome that you guys are vegan and try not to use dead animal ingredients and stuff like that. I'm doing the same thing and finding lots of good soil and fertilisers so it's good to see more people gardening in this way :) I'm off to look for your video of the kalanchoe all potted together. :) Much love from Sydney.
So happy you love my accent :-D So happy you agree with not wanting to use any animal ingredients, and going vegan nearly 9 years ago now was one of the best things I ever did, although I have found it easy food wise, it can be challenge as a gardener as so many soils have added animal fertilisers in and many companies dont reply back to emails when I ask them to declare whats in their soils etc, but its so wonderful to do what we can do as much as we can, So happy you loved the pruning tips too, I bet your 3 Kalanchoes are beautiful
Thank you so much for your help on deadheading my kalanchoe plant
So happy you found the video helpful, and thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for watching XXXX
Thank you for the video. I'll find some video that cut the stem all the way to the ground instead and i find it will waste the plant. I've tried propagate them but failed. So this really help so now i know i dont have to cut them all back.❤

my yellow one is about to open, last summer i copped about 6 one foot sections from my clients large bush, plungted them ito a pot of soil and let them do their thing, 4 survived and they all put buds on. my roommate has at least 10, all different colors and doubles , ruffles, they are easy to overlook but so gorgeous

I got a bright magenta one several weeks ago, and I'm now in love with them. Brings out a pop of color in my collection! Also you say they are winter bloomers, but mine is blooming very strongly and it's late spring. Does that mean its a forced bloom?
So happy you love these beauties too :-D I think a lot of Kalanchoes will bloom into the late Spring and will bloom from November until early June :-D especially blossfeldiana as it can bloom over 6 months on and off :-D a lot of the ones sold in the shops have been grown under lamps in nurseries and are often forced to bloom earlier or later but they should still bloom during Winter and early to mid Spring naturally :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching :-D sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Very useful

Thanks so much
Thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic plant powered Thursday XXXX
I'm so glad that you said 'in nature there is nobody to prune the flowers', because that's what I'm always thinking about pruning and cutting plants! You shouldn't HAVE to do it to keep the plant alive, right?
So very true, pruning is only done in cultivation and in home gardening to make the plants look tidier and more compact and bushy, but in nature they just do their thing :-D thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday XXXX

Because these go dormant in summer and flower during winter, you can treat like a Christmas Cactus. What I mean is, to encourage budding and loads of flowers during the growth period place them in a dark place for 12-16 hours for 6-8 weeks from mid-July. Make sure it is completely dark, even an incandescent bulb could upset them. For the rest of the day place them in a sunny spot and water as you would during the dormant time.
Thats a fantastic tip Stephen, thank you for sharing, and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Hi, thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm new at caring for flowers/plants and was wondering how often or how much I would water my kalanchoe after I just pruned it too? It's the smallest size pot that you showed in the video.
Hi Alyssa :-D so happy you loved the video, the good news is you can water your Kalanchoe after you have pruned it, once you have watered it let the soil completely dry out before watering again, I water mine every time the soil has dried out, they like to go a bit longer in between waterings during the Winter months, and in the Winter I water mine about once a month, but if they are starting to grow buds in the Winter I will water more frequently about once every 10 -14 days, good luck with your wonderful new Kalanchoe and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching XXXX
Just bought one and found this video!! So helpful, thank you so much! Also, random but I'm from Stourbridge (West Midlands), your accent sounds so familiar haha x x
Thats wonderful you have bought one of these Kalanchoe blossfeldiana's they are amazing plants to grow, so happy that you are from the West Midlands too, I am from Shirley, Solihull, but have been living in Ireland for 15 years now but still haven't lost my accent haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic afternoon XXXX

Love your video! I need some help with my kalanchoe.. I've had it for about over a year now. It just finished its lovely red bloom and I am really stuck on what to do. It is very elongated and the bottom of the stem has no leaves on it, lots of calluses, but only the top half has and they're quite small leaves. Should I cut it in half and try and re-pot the top half? I'm scared of killing the plant, I love it so much and have learned so much from it. I have had no new leaf growth and it just looks so bare. I would send photos of it but I can't through comments
Hey, great video! I got a yellow kalanchoe from Asda last month for 10p reduced to clear; wanted to save the poor bastard before it ended up in landfill. It was heavily in bloom and in the worlds smallest pot so I repotted it and she seems to be doing well! However its my first experience with kalanchoes so I'm still learning about them. Is it normal for quite a few of the buds to not be fully flowering and almost dying/drying up before they bloom? The original blooms are still doing well so I did wonder if potentially much of the energy is still going to them and not allowing the new growth to do as well? I'm happy to leave her as is to let her do her own thing as blooms and 'prettiness' isn't of high importance to me, I was just curious why they were doing this and if I can help her.
Thank you very much! I accidentally cut a stem that had buds on it, but I stuck it in some water and am hoping maybe it will propagate there. Thanks for the educational video!
Good luck with propagating :-D these plants root well in water and if you remove the flower buds it may help the cuttings to root faster as the energy can go to making roots instead of the flowers
How different can be how a plant grow from country to country. Here this plants don't like the sun. Actually their leaves get burned if you put it in the sun. They love semi shadow spots. Other difference is that here they bloom in spring. Thanks for sharing Lyn. I am amazed with the different grow conditions.
haha I know here in Ireland a sunny day is rare haha :-D and its incredible how the differences between their care from country to country, thanks so much dear Olga for your wonderful comments and for watching and Hansie and I are sending you and ADORABLE Phoebe an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle to Greece for a magical evening ahead XXXX

Hi there, love the video. I love the Kalanchoe plant.. I purchase them locally from Home Depot, they are full mature and beautiful. I keep them outdoors being careful to catch early day sun and then move to shade later , I live in Los Angeles and summers can be pretty hot and dry. I am still learning when to and not to water but cannot find a happy medium. Leaves are turning yellow on the edges and the leaves feel soft and fall off easily. The plant also appears to separate as the flowers dry up and are removed. By the time I've deadheaded the plant it looks a skinned cat.
Please offer suggestions. Thank you
Hi Hector :-D so happy you love these Kalanchoe plants too, they are beauties, it sounds like you have them in the best location with protecting them by moving them to shade later in the day, because of the warm temperatures I would water your Kalanchoes every time the soil has started to dry out, I would give them a good watering every time, and if the leaves feel soft and fall off easy its usually because they need more regular watering, I would water as soon as the soil has started to dry out but not fully dried out, this could be every other day or every day in very warm weather, in Winter they can go longer in between watering, a bit of fertiliser every week also gives these plants a good booster too and may help to prevent them from separating when the flowers start to dry up, good luck with your Kalanchoes and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Los Angeles for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Mine is dying
My plant has gotten very leggy and at the bottom of the middle tall stem roots have grown, can I cut this off and plant in another pot? Thank you for any help, love the video, very informative, now I realise I should have pruned it to stop it getting leggy!!
Hi Trevor :-D yes the good news is that if you have roots growing along the stems these stems with the roots on can be cut off and treated as cuttings, let the cuttings dry for a day or two and then plant up :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Tuesday XXXX
Lynn, my 2 have that mildew and powder on their leaves. How do I get rid of it? I've tried rubbing alcohol but it didn't work.
Hi Michelle :-D it can be a sign that the air humidity is too high for them and or the soil may be kept a bit too damp, causing the leaves to form mildew, and sometimes moving the plant to a drier atmosphere and less watering may help, the best way to remove it is to gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth with a touch of mild soap to remove the mildew and powder, if that doesn't work a horticultural fungicide spray would be the best thing to spray to treat the leaves :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching :-D sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Hi Lyn thank you for the information, my Kalanchoe flowers are done but lost it’s large leaves and grew tiny leaves and for some reason that I can’t see why it’s loosing it’s leaves. Any idea. Thank you 🥰💖
Hi Diane
What about if my flowers are dying and the stems are beginning to dry out, how much should I cut?
goood video
XXXXX
very helpful! I have a very leggy Kalanchoe plant how or what can I do? it's flowering very well but I also need to re-pot it any advice or videos?
Hi Chris :-D I will be re potting a lot of my Kalanchoes in the next few weeks and will share a few video when I do, its best to wait until your Kalanchoe has stopped flowering before re potting it into a cactus and succulent soil mix
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you for your reply. I will wait for your next video !😁
Greetings from Canada 👋 I have watched this video several times but I still have questions. My grocery store Kalenchoe blossfeldiana (the 2nd) was very generously watered in the store where she came from. Two (?) weeks later I'm still waiting for her soil to dry. I have her set up for maximum air circulation so now I just hope there's no lasting harm. Meanwhile there's lots of blooms & buds. I don't want to traumatize the poor thing any more than she has been already so am wondering if best to wait til a cluster has completely died off before removing, & should I aim for as close to the stalk as possible when I do?
I think it's just on Friday over there, so sending wishes for a good night and a fantastic Friday. Love & light from across the water 🍁
Hope u answer, soon as I got mine just about all flowers diet off in the first week the plan itself looks fine I had to cut off the flowers but it never regrew the flowers so I don't know how to get the flowers back
Hi thank you this was a fantastic informative video where I learnt lots. I do have one question if you don't mind, the window I have which gets lots of direct sun and lots of light is a window ledge over a radiator below that is on constantly through winter, would this be ok, or does it need to be away from heat please? Thank you in advance Natalie 😀
So happy you enjoyed the video Natalie :-D ideally its best to keep these plants away from the radiator as the excess heat can sometimes encourage more spindlier growth, but what you could do is place a sheet of cardboard or wood over the radiator as long as the radiator is an electric one, and this will distribute the heat into the room but keep it away from your plants, we do this with our Ferns in our bedroom and here is a link to video I made showing you How you can do this here : ruclips.net/video/gD8LY-JMKpg/видео.html thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Tuesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Hi Lyn. Thanks for getting back to me love. I watched your video as well what a brilliant idea about the radiator. So thanks loads I am going to do that. Take care have a great week Natalie 😀 x

I have a calandiva which seems similar. The flowers are stars with few petals, not the multi-petaled kalanchoe. The flowers are on long stalks that droop over. I don't know if that is because they were at my local supermarket and dried out - just bought today and put in garden - although the soil felt damp, or do I need to do something?
I bet your Calandiva is beautiful :-D I would leave the flowers and if they are drooping over that may be normal for them if the flowers are a heavier than the flower stalk :-D XXXXXX
Maam it's so beautiful. But my plant have long stem so will I cut full stem till the end it only flower part
Hi Lyn. I just bought two Kalanchoe - Calandiva. I noticed that one has a leaf like that of Chrysanthemum leaf. do they require the same treatment. I would like to propagate single leaf cuttings, my glass house is not heated can I keep them in my green house over winter.
Danny Davies.

Hi Danny :-D I bet your Kalanchoe calandiva is a beauty :-D yes they require the same treatment, I would recommend keeping these plants at a minimum temperature of 5c and no lower over Winter, it may be best to bring them indoors over the winter to be on the safe side especially as they are winter growers and will still need to be watered during the Winter and the combination of the damp soil and cold air could encourage them to rot, and its safer to bring them indoors, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to South Wales for a brilliant new week ahead XXXXX

Thank you so much for this information. My kitty died recently and I put Kalanchoe plants in the house where I used to see him. I’m new at this, so I want to do a good job. But since cats like to be in the sun, I’m afraid I may have burned mine from too much sun. Then, thinking they must need water if they are burned, I watered them too much. (I have some white mold growing on the outside of the pots). What should I do next? They are extremely leafy and all the flowers have died. I do see new buds forming despite me pulling off the dead ones, so I think they are still alive. I want to take care of them properly from here on. Thanks again for the great information. I love these little plants and they are easing the pain from missing my darling Benny. (That’s him as my avatar. I don’t have the heart to change it).🌸
EDIT: I’m in Minnesota in the US.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Kitty Benny, its heartbreaking when we lose a pet we love so much, and growing plants is a wonderful way to help with our grief
Sorry for your dreadful loss

I don't think these are supposed to be in the sun because they are indoor plants. Filtered sunlight is what they prefer.
I got one from a greenhouse a month ago and I think it's been overwatered and the the flowers are dying off and a couple of the bottom leaves are cracking and look like they're blistered at the top. I stopped watering it now but I have 2 questions: do I usually have to wait till it completely dries before watering? And what do I do about the 2 leaves?
Hi Randa :-D thats wonderful you have got one of these Kalanchoes, yes its best to wait until the soil has completely dried before watering again, you can prune off the leaves that are cracked and blistered, good luck with your Kalanchoe and thanks so much for watching XXXXX
Hi. I have the pink one. Just one small cluster Left. It’s quite a big house plant, probably 3x plus bigger than u have in your video. Now my plant has a tall green bit sprouting up from the middle. I no it’s difficult without a pic but how do I chop this down to give the plant a more rounder look ??
I’m a total beginner, honestly you could write what I know on a postage stamp 😂. Tbh I’m surprised it’s survived this long 😂. I’ve had it since March and it’s just on my lounge window sill. Thank u in advance x
I Have a stem growing kind of wonkey and hanging down. Do I try to prop it up, or am I best just cutting it off?

Nice video.....my plant is getting long , tall, and lanky.....should I be snipping it down to keep it short and fuller?
Hi Shelly Diane :-D yes you can prune down these plants to keep them short and more fuller and compact, and you can use the cuttings to propagate more plants, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a marvellous Monday XXXX

Your plants are beautiful..do they like to be rootbound?I wonder if that's why mine didn't bloom this year also?I noticed you have yours in small pots..mine is in a little bit larger pot than yours..i heard African violets usually bloom if they are rootbound so I'm wondering if that is the same for kalanchoe plants🤔thanks so much
So happy you love the Kalanchoe plants :-D yes these plants do prefer to be a little bit rootbound as they are less likely to flower if they are planted into larger pots, as they seem to put their energy into growing more foliage and roots when in bigger pots, but if planted in a pot just enough for their roots they will bloom more readily, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a brilliant Monday today XXXXX

I do that but different kalanchoe humilis in my videos because it's so leggy and not showing any blooms
Hi there, I overwatered my Kalanchoe and now the flowers are dying. I’ve left the plant to dry out for nearly 2 weeks now but the soil is still damp. What should I do?
Hi there, thats great that you left the plant to dry out for a couple of weeks, although the soil is still damp you could wrap the roots in a paper towel to help to absorb more of the moisture, I wouldn't worry about the flowers dying off as this will not harm the plant and the flowers don't last for long, often only a couple of weeks, I would re pot the plant again in totally dry very well draining cactus and succulent soil, and leave unwatered for about 10 days before watering, thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Tuesday today XXXX

Hi, if you still answer questions on here, is it a good idea to cut off individual dead blooms? All of the flower heads on my Kalanchoe have a mix of dead flowers and blooming flowers so i'm wondering if i should cut off the dead flowers individually
Hi there, yes you can cut off the dead flower blooms, it helps to tidy them up and makes the blooming flowers look even more beautiful, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
Hi! My kalanchoe, which is a gift for me was used to be full of blooms but now, the flowers are all gone and it really saddens me seeing it plain. I did deadheading and I' m wondering when will it start to produce buds and bloom again just like before. Do you have any tips? Please help 🥺
Hello Good day ! My kalanchoe had a lot of flowers and now the flowers fell off and i cut a bit from the flower to remove the dead leafs and flowers and now after 1 month it started to bloom again but only with 1 flower .How can i make so that more flowers will regrow and not just 1?
Hi because these plants will flower yearly you will have to wait until next year until you get the next flowering period for these plants, keep them in a sunny natural light position and they should re bloom every year with lots of blooms, they are difficult to re bloom if kept inside the house though as they need natural day length differences with night and day to re bloom, but if you can find a sunny windowsill without additional artificial lighting from the house you should get these plants to re bloom yearly, sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday XXXXX
When should they be out in a bigger pot? Aren't those small ones ready foe a bigger pot? Asking because I'm concerned about mine which are the same size as those.

Hello, I bought a mini Kalanchoe Calandiva in a very small pot. I want to ask you if it will grow bigger - about 30-40 cm Kalanchoe or because it is a mini Kalanchoe will not grow anymore? It is currently in its heyday.
Hi Anelka :-D the good news is that although this the Kalanchoe calandiva is a more smaller compact plant this Kalanchoe will still grow large over time, but it will grow more wider than taller, its a beautiful plant and will grow much larger in the future, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXXXX
It'll definitely grow bigger if you repot it. I repotted mine during the summer and it trippled in size and is currently blooming.
A nice tool for this kind of plant grooming is called a grape shear. It's a short pair of scissors with narrow, pointed blades and large finger loops (A godsend for people like me with very large hands. It hurts when your thumb gets wedged into those tiny thumb loops on a regular scissors.). They're made for cutting apart those big bunches of grapes you find in the markets. You can find them at a very low price on Amazon or EBay. I keep several pairs around the house because they are useful for a thousand things.
Thanks so much for letting me know about the special shears Emmit :-D they sound ideal :-D Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching :-D sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
I have kalanchoe in my garden and they are blooming just fine. Only had a few weeks. I have an automatic drip watering system in the soil so it's always damp. Will that eventually rot them or attract mildew? Also the leaves are densely packed. Is it advisable to prune the lower leaves so there is air circulation? I live in a semi desert climate so the air is always dry.
Hi :-D thats wonderful you have your Kalanchoes blooming beautiful, Yes I would remove the automatic drip system from the Kalanchoes as they like to dry out in the soil in between waterings, You can prune the lower leaves if they were touching the very surface of the soil, but if not they will be ok to leave especially if you live in a more semi desert climate with dry air :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald isle and have a terrific Thursday XXXXXX
Hello! I got one of these kalanchoes in mini-verdion and it was growing very well!, But we got a heat wave and I was a bit more generous with the watering. Now I'm watching this videos because a bunch of the flowers dried out and see looking a bit lifeless. I don't know if I watered them too little and the heat got to them or too much...I'm not sure what is the criteria to water them, since they still are succulents
Hi Filipa, so sorry to hear about the flowers, sometimes this can happen if its too warm and the flowers can dry out faster, the best thing to do is to water these plants every time the soil in their pots has completely dried out, I always let the soil dry out first before watering them again, I water them much less in Winter and water them about once every 3-4 weeks in Winter, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a sunny Sunday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you so much for your fast reply! Then I will let the soil dry completely and only then I will water it :)

I got one from my kids a year ago for Mother's Day. I pinched the dead flowers off as you show and still haven't gotten new blossoms. How long does it take for them to reblossom?
Hi Kelly :-D sometimes it can be difficult to re bloom these Kalanchoes as they need the correct length of light as house lights can offset their natural inbuilt body clock for flowering, I used to have this problem with mine but I now keep them in the polytunnel outside and they flower yearly for me now, if you can place them in a position where they receive natural light away from artificial lights, they should flower for you the following year
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you so much for your reply! Fingers crossed my pretty little plant will flower again :)
I plan to cover mine each night to keep the artificial light away from mine. I saw another videw that said it needed 14 hours if complete darkness.
I started mine from a trimming I found that only had 6 leaves on it. Now it's huge. I didn't prune it except to remove lower leaves and then replant it a further 6 inches down in the dirt. I'm trying to get it to flower but I've never seen how it starts that process. I'm going to post a photo of the plant. There's these extra branches coming from everywhere now. Again I did not prune so why the extra branches now? Is this the start of flowering? It's 20 inches tall at the tallest 2 stalks. but even the shorter ones are branching out. Thanks for any input!

Hi Joshua :-D thats wonderful you have successfully grown your Kalanchoe to a big size from a cutting, its very possible if its branching out that it is preparing for flowering, these plants will send out lots of new branches from the sides as they mature, they can be a bit tricky to get to re bloom because they are very sensitive to any other light source, and if you have these plants indoors where you have lights on it can prevent them from flowering, mine didn't re bloom until I moved them into a spare room where I don't have any lights on and only natural light from the windows, I fertilise mine with a low strength feed of Tomato fertiliser in Spring, Summer and early Fall to encourage them to bloom for the Winter, it works really well, I hope you will get flowers in the near future, thanks so much for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
Thank you. I have it in a basement bathroom we never use and it gets just a small amount of light from a block window. My suspicion is that it's trying to bloom. Hope it doesn't take too long!
@@jgspeer13 XXXXX :-D
@@desertplantsofavalon Well it never bloomed. Since spring is here I'm going to move the whole plant down into the dirt another 6 inches since there's arial roots all over the lower part again. When I do figure out how to get it to bloom it's gonna be a hell of a bush by then. LOL Go big or don't bother right? ha
Guys i have a question do Kalanchoe flowers close up while they are “sleeping”? Yk like Tulips? Just wondering
Hi Yelisa
Hey ihave watched your video so healthy your plants are m living in India in hot area my outdoor Katy is growing healthy but I want to grow it indoor need your help can I grow it indoor
Hi Ruby :-D so happy you love these plants too, yes you can grow your Katy indoors too if you can put it in a sunny window it will grow well indoors too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness to India for a wonderful day XXXX
I havea kaichoe I tansplanted it but the green is nice but I have one dead stem in the middle it's hard to get it out it's a very thick stem what do I do?
Hi Rita :-D its best to remove the dead stem in the middle, but if its very hard to cut out then as long as the dead stem is not rotting and causing any chance of rotting to the other parts, it should be ok to leave, but from an aesthetic point of view if you can remove it that would be best, thanks so much for your comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX
My leaves are... Sad some are already crispy and some are soft. Should I take the whole leaf off?
Hi there, if the leaves are dry and crispy you can take them off, but its best to leave the softer leaves on the plant until they are all brown, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Sunday XXXX
Hello! My kalanchoe has many dried leaves dried from the tip. How do I trim them? Do I trim the whole leave or the dried parts?
Hi Dexter :-D you can trim off the dried tips or trim off the whole leaf, sometimes the leaves will go dry and brown prematurely if they have been over fertilised, or kept too wet or too dry air or over a window close to a heat source like a radiator, if its none of these things it can be the natural habit of this plant when its leaves naturally die and new ones grow, but to neaten up the plant you can either trim off the brown tips or trim off the whole leaf :-D thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks for the reply! I last checked again and it looks like it's rotting/turning black in the main stem itself, slowly going downwards. Do I cut off the rotting main stem?
@@dexterthiam3675 Hi Dexter :-D yes definitely cut off the brown rotting stem and propagate the green parts as cuttings, good luck with re rooting them , they should do well and sending much love and plant power your way for a fantastic day XXXX
Is it safe to plant them outside in backyard or it must stay in individual pots?
Hi Susie :-D you can plant them out into the backyard for the Spring and Summer as long as the frosty nights have gone, they are not cold tolerant and can't take any temperatures below 41f /5c and its best to bring them back inside for the Winter months, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend XXXX
i damaged my new plant by putting her outside and now she is a damaged plant. how do I revive my yellow kolanchoe ???? I'm sad becuz it was a birthday plant and i don't want it to die......please help me. Thank you for your time. I did not realize it was an indoor plant
Hi Berni :-D you may be best to prune it right back and hopefully new shoots will appear from the lower stems, its difficult to see how damaged your plant is but these Kalanchoes are very good at recovering from cold damage etc, you can also propagate the leaves if they are are healthy by placing a leaf on top of the soil as a cutting, but if the roots and lower part are ok, then prune your plant right back and keep in sunny position and ina well draining soil mix, XXXXX
Hi I just got this plant one of the flowers got brouwn color so I trim the flower but then the stem that the flower was on got brouwn color and every time I trim the stem change the color pls help why is this happening?!!
Hi there, I think that the flower stem is dying back and the good news is that this is normal and nothing to worry about, you may be best to cut the rest of the remaining stem off right from the base, but if the brown color is on the main stem of the actual plant it can be a bad sign and possible rot, if the main part of the stem of the plant is brown its best to cut right back to where the stem is green and also get the plant out of the pot to check that the roots are ok and that there are no signs of root rot, good luck with your plant and thanks so much for watching XXXX
Hi, my plant has started showing roots at the stems does that mean I need to propagate it?
Also would like to say Thankyou this has been a very helpful vdo
Hi Afiya :-D these Kalanchoe plants often grow little roots along the sides of the stems, this is harmless and you can either prune them off, or if you take cuttings you can cut to just below where these roots form, and you have rooted cuttings ready to plant, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
My kalanchoe stems are turning black dry and hollow and I don't know why or what to do?
Hi Arwa, it sounds like it may be rotting and you will need to do an energy cut of all of the stems and see if you can save any of the healthy parts as cuttings, if you can save any healthy parts you can put them into water to re re root them as cuttings, good luck and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a safe and sunny Tuesday XXXXX
One of my leaves on the bottom is turning brown and crispy, what do I do?🙁
Hi there, it is normal for the lower leaves on these plants to go brown and crispy and then they fall off, and its nothing to worry about, you can prune these off before they fall off too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX
I have a plant from the family of the plants in your video. The stalks are getting quite long and gangly. How far back can I prune them without harming the plant? Will it come in thicker and bushier?
Hi Doris :-D you can prune these plants right back to about an inch and a half from their base, its best to leave a few leaves on the lower part, they will grow back a lot bushier and thicker once they have been pruned back, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday today XXXX

Hello..i bought a kalanchoe plant last winter and managed to keep it alive till now..the only issue is that it didn't flower this year..is there anything I could do to have it flower for me next year?I'm new to these plants..do they live as a houseplant for years and will they flower every year of they have the right conditions?Thank you so much 😊
Hi there :-D Kalanchoes can be a bit touch and go with flowering, but I have found its best to keep them in a room indoors that does not have any additional lights on during the hours of natural darkness outside, I overwintered mine the one year in the kitchen and because we have the lights on in there in the early morning and evening they didn't flower, but when I moved it to my grow room where I only have the grow lights on during the normal day length outside, they flowered, they can be very sensitive to other light sources as the short days and longer nights trigger their blooming, I also give them a bit of tomato fertiliser every 3 weeks in Summer and early Fall used at half strength to encourage blooming too, it seems to help, Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful New Year XXXX
