    Hello,

    Thank you for sending us your gardening question. Pruning is necessary to keep the Kalanchoe well shaped. Trim spent blooms and their stems as needed. Leaving spent blooms attached will inhibit future blooming. To make the Kalanchoe a fuller, stockier plant, pinch the top back to the second or third leaf; this will encourages branching. After pruning the plant may require less water.

    Here are a couple of articles you might find helpful:

    Unfortunately, these plants require the opposite care. What you do for the roses and ivy will likely kill the succulents, while what you do for the succulents will likely kill the roses and ivy. It would be best to grow these separately, and make sure the plants that you grow together are similar in care.

    It appears to be one of the many varieties of Kalanchoe called the Chandelier Plant. These are flowers! They do not have to be taken off until they have died off of the stalk. Here is an article that will give you more information on the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/kalanchoe/kalanchoe-chandelier-plants.htm

    You can, after they die. This will also force the plant to grow wider, and more bushy. This article is for a specific variety, but will apply to most flowering kalanchoe: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/kalanchoe/growing-flaming-katy.htm

    You can let this growth continue until it dies off, naturally. After this, you may cut it off down to where the long stem starts. This article will give you more information about the care of these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/kalanchoe/growing-paddle-plants.htm
