April 11, 2019Q.HELP!!!! My kalanchoe is dying :(
Hello, I own a kalanchoe and it's been around a month since I got it. At first everything seemed to go well, however, the leaves seemed unhealthy (wilted quick, turned yellow). I assumed it was overwatering so I stopped watering for a while and it seemed fine. The first flower bloomed and I was extremely happy but a few days later the flower fell off. Then the second bloomed and the same thing happened. At the moment the flowers that didn't bloom yet have turned into a different colour and I'm really clueless about what's happening. So many leaves have fallen off to the point it looks unpleasant. I've put in a lot of effort to take care of the plant but I'm not sure where I went wrong :( Please help me save my plant, I would really appreciate it.

April 13, 2019A.The flowers will fade in color as they age.
Do not overwater, soil should dry between waterings.
Here is an article to refresh you on the care.

June 16, 2019Q.Mother of thousands plantlets
Hi, wondering if anyone can help me, I recently acquired a mother of thousands from my mother, and a few weeks later decided to plant some of the plantlets growing on it. They’ve taken to their new pot quickly and are growing quickly, however they look different to the mother plant - plantlets that have fallen and are growing inside the original pot are the same size but look different. Is it a stress thing, because the ones I removed have more room to grow? Any information I have on varieties just show different species!

Certified ExpertA.They do react differently to different stresses. They will definitely ovecrowd that container VERY quickly. They are very fast, and very invasive, so take care not to let any of them fall into any other container plants. They will quickly outcompete anything that they are growing with leaving you with a dead plant.

I might be over watering, I checked the roots and they’re not diseased or molded. The soil is bone dry but it seems like when I water it, it gets worse? The leaves have turned soft and gotten lighter in color, some even turning yellow, but dirt is very dry. I’ve pull off all of the bad leaves daily. Location has not changed. It sits in my kitchen window sill. Not to mention it used to have so many more leaves.

June 26, 2019A.Kalanchoes do not need much water. Allow the soil to dry in between watering. Do not over water, as the roots can be prone to rot.
If the soil is bone dry though, this is too little water.

July 25, 2019Q.I would just like to know what kind of succulent this is
It was given to me with no name, and was in my car during a heat wave so it can take high heats.

Certified ExpertA.It is very hard to pin down Kalanchoe plants to their species. My best guess would be Kalanchoe delagoensis.

August 28, 2019Q.Recommendations on propagating my Kalanchoe
I'm curious as to how to propagate this kalanchoe. I'm thinking I should cut down the stalk and maybe replant, but I'd hate to kill it. It's my favorite baby and stands about 3 foot tall. I've read that eventually the stalk will die off, so should I just leave it alone - as well as the babies growing below? Any advice would be great! Trying to attach a photo, not sure if it's there.

Certified ExpertA.It's very cool looking! I would leave it alone except to remove a couple of the offsets to start new plants.
Here's how:

Certified ExpertA.This is probably a sign of too much water. It is still early, so it hasn't caused any real damage yet. You should only water after the top 3 inches or so of soil is completely dry, or even further as they are quite drought resistant. This will prevent any issues.
For now, here is an article on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/kalanchoe/growing-mother-of-thousands.htm
