FertilizingMonthly

Fertilize bimonthly during their growing period while the flower is in bloom. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer at 1/2 strength. Reduce during the fall and winter months while the plant is in their dormant phase.
Re-potting3 Years

Repot Kalanchoe in the early spring in a well draining succulent and cacti soil mix. Use a container with drainage holes. Place a piece of screening at the bottom of the container over the drainage hole to secure the soil and allow it to drain. Add the mix to the bottom of the new slightly larger container and carefully place them in the center, adding backfill around the edges. Leave a 1/2 inch of space between the soil and the top edge to prevent water spillage. Water as instructed and fertilize with succulent/cacti fertilizer.
CleaningAfter bloom begins to die

After the flowers fade, trim off the flower stem or any damaged or yellowing leaves. Clean off any debris on the soil and refresh with new soil if needed. Inspect for pests at this time.
PropagationCuttings|Division

Trim a cutting off the plant where they are not flowering, making sure they have at least four to five leaves on them. Remove two to three sets of leaves off the stem with sterile scissors. Allow the stem to callous over for two to three days. This period will protect the new plant from diseases and rotting. Next, take the cutting and dip them in rooting hormone. Use a succulent and cacti mix, and fill the container you're using. Poke the cuttings in the soil and water. Now, create a humidity chamber by spritzing a clear plastic bag and dropping it over the new plant and container. Place the cuttings in bright, indirect light. Keep the soil moist while the cuttings establish roots and leaf growth occurs.
