  • In this video I took my very overgrown leggy Kalanchoe succulent and tidied it right up to look and feel its best. Leggy succulents can happen for a number of reasons and in this video, I will explain some of the best practices for succulent care to keep your succulents looking great. From a jellybean sedum that grew way out of hand, to an entire pot of straggly, messy kalanchoe, let's repot these succulents and get them back to looking great.

    I thought it was a nice touch your lipstick coordinated with the plants at the end. Everything was in harmony!

    Thanks for your helpful video on how to root sedums. I’d been wondering how to get my very leggy plant to be more beautiful and full. 😢You have given me great ideas! I didn’t know that you could save the leaves and let them root 😋

    • @FreePlantsForever

      Yes! The leaves are so prolific. Glad this could be helpful and thanks for watching! 💚

    Loved this video. I have a leggy kalanchoe in the office that needs a haircut. It’s still flowering and the flowers are so pretty but I’m going to chop and prop it after watching this🪴

    My 2 succulents are tall and curving around. I was going to repot them together in a terracotta pot. Does this sound ok,? I have small lava rock and soil not sand. They are in small pots now with direct TX evening sun. Thanks

    Are you in California? Didn’t realize I’ve been pronouncing kalanchoe wrong for decades 😂

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад

      I am in California... and for years I pronounced Kalanchoe as callan-cho... thanks to lots of other plant videos I changed up my pronunciation 🤷‍♀️

    So does the entire plant you repotted that “bloomed” die back or just the long upper stem with the “blooms”?

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад +2

      On this particular plant, the stem with the bloom will die - but other "pups" below the plant will keep going. A lot of times Kalanchoe will also create little baby plants on the leaves themselves that will drop and start to grow whole new plants. Other monocarpic plants such as agave will fully die after bloom, but they will also have likely shot off a lot of pups before doing so.

      @@FreePlantsForever How neat! Do you cut that long stem with the blooms or just let it die back in its own to nourish the bottom parts that continue to live.

    Do you compose from your green bin.

      Great question! Our city runs a green waste program where they take all garden cuttings (for free!) and turn them into mulch that they give away (and even deliver) to residents to help gardens become more healthy and drought tolerant. It's a great way to recycle garden waste.

    • @bjgnotary9500
      @bjgnotary9500 Год назад

      Wouldn't the kalanchoe possibly regenerate and become invasive in someone else's beds as part of mulch/compost?

      I wish I had an answer, but I'm not really sure how long they take to bloom. I have heard suggestions that they bloom when under stress. Is your plant indoors or outdoors? If indoors perhaps if you put it under the conditions of Spring/Summer, add a grow light and a heating pad and give it less water, it may trick it into blooming. That's just a guess. Best of luck and well wishes to you💚
