My kalanchoe´s leaves are too heavy

Hi! I´m a beginner and I don´t know what to do with my plant. He´s growing very fast and high, the leaves are heavy and were almost breaking his stem. I put a chop stick in it and bind it with a ribbon 😅
2 questions.
1)how high will this plant grow?
2) how can I support it in the best way so he doesn´t break?

Hey Laura! Congrats, your Kalanchoe looks awesome! You’ve done exactly what I would recommend, however I would ensure you don’t tie the ribbons too tight, as you don’t want it to cut into the stem of your plant-but keep it propped up like this and continue to take care of it and the stem should strengthen over time, however, even if it sags a bit, that’s okay! Just support the stem. Finally, If growth really gets out of hand, you can always keep it primed to reduce growth potential.
Okay great, thanks for your advice Caleb! :)
