Certified ExpertA.If you are talking about Mother of Thousands plant, it is best to take the small propagations that start on the leaf margins, rather than wait for it to flower (if it ever does).
Otherwise, if you aren't referring to the Mother of thousands plant, it will depend on the type of plant that it is. Some plants can have their seeds planted immediately, and some will need to cure before planting.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, the entire genus is only capable of surviving down to zone 8. This will mean that you will want to bring it indoors during the winter months if you want to keep it alive. It will survive in very minimal conditions indoors.

August 24, 2023Q.Help For My Kalanchoe Plant
Hello. I'm having a difficult time with my Kalanchoe plant, but I don't want it to completely give up on me. Currently, all of my mature stems only have thick green leaves at the top of them, and the rest of the stems are bare; the leaves are dying slowly upward, but there is some new growth. There are also new stems with healthy leaves, but some of those have lost lower leaves. The mature stems have brown lines on the lower portion of them, while the upper portions are green. One of the mature stems as two new leaves starting to grow at its bare base. There are also brown lines on the lower portion of a couple of the young stems, while the rest of the stems are green. Some of the new stew stems have lost lower leaves as well. 🥺 Please help. I pray this plant can thrive again, because I don't want it to die. Can you help?

Certified ExpertA.It probably is getting too much water. Cut back on the watering - wait till the soil is dry between watering - and make sure to empty the tray under the pot. Don't let water accumulate there because the roots will suck it back up.
Once you get the watering under control and the plant looks better, you can break off some of the top stems to encourage the lower stems to leaf out again. You can start new plants with the pieces you break off.
If the soil is having a hard time drying out and the plant begins to look worse, remove it from the container and shake off the soil. Clean the container and refill with soil designed for succulents and repot.

Certified ExpertA.I wonder if you got a flaming Katy, which is hardy in zones 10 to 12. Your area is in USDA hardiness zones of 9b to 10, so depending on exactly where you are, it might be able to stay outside. You could always bring it in during a cold snap.
Generally kalanchoe plants are hardy in zones 8 to 10. Here are care tips:

March 16, 2024Q.My Flaming Katy Is Dying
My Flaming Katy had many flowers and buds. I dont know what happened but my flowers started to shrivel up and now the flowers are dying. I have read up on how to care for them. I have kept them outside in a warm sunny spot that does get direct sun. I only water it when the soil is dry. I am not sure how to save my plant.
