What should I do with this Panda plant? I’ve had this panda plant for quite some time and for a long time now it has sprouted this very tall shoot that keeps growing taller. Should I trim it off? It is in a south facing window and gets direct sunlight for a good part of the day except for in the winter because I am in the northeast. But it still gets bright indirect sunlight when not getting direct. #ChocolateSoldier #PandaPlant

Not flowering #Kalanchoe Over a year ago this plant was blooming and beautiful but I feel like she is unhappy now. No blooms and the leaves look sad. Any suggestions? First photo is from sept 2023 and the second photo is now.

Very leggy Hi everyone, my plant looks very leggy and her stems are pink, I hope maybe to receive tips on how to care for her I am terrified I’ll ruin her or something! #Kalanchoe

Help! My panda plant is drooping. And dropping leaves. I think I let it get too dry, but watered it and it’s not bouncing back. Any suggestions? #Kalanchoe

I believe this is a Paddleplant, does anyone know why the bottom half is droopy looking? It's still firm and looks the same all over except for the leaves pointing down. #Kalanchoe

My plant is utterly dead. #Kalanchoe There is no way of reviving it and I have no idea how this happened,I cared for it exactly how I was told to but it started drying up before repotting (which was 2 months ago), I assumed it was root rot so I repotted but nothing has changed. I started being less generous with watering but nothing seemed to be working, she was a blooming, wonderful plant until it all suddenly went down hill. Only 1 of the 3 is still somewhat alive. Is there any way to save this plant?
