Leggy kalanchoe trimming suggestions?

I’ve wanted to trim this plant for a while but I’m struggling to decide where I want to cut it. Looking for suggestions and wondering what you guys would do in this situation? The longer I wait the taller it grows and it’s almost out of spaceπŸ˜… #Kalanchoe #SucculentSquad #Succulents

You can chop it about 3 leaves down from the top and it should push new growth towards the bottom of the plant. Hope this helps!
Good suggestion Chloe
@PlantLady01 thank you for the tip!
@thingsNstuff Mind if I follow your post, I’m kind of looking for the same kind of answers. Since my Kalanchoe Milotii has grown so tall and is in danger of toppling over.
@Ms.Persnickety Go for it! Let me know how it goes:) I’m hoping to cut mine and bring it outside in a couple weeks after our last frost has passed, although I’m still deciding between a few cutting options right now
@thingsNstuff I don’t really trust myself not to screw this up if I cut the top off the Kalanchoe, I am very hesitant to do anything right now!
@Ms.Persnickety don’t worry I feel the same! This is my first time heavily trimming a succulent and I’m scared I’m gonna butcher itπŸ˜…

these are the 2 trimming options I’m currently weighing between, if anybody can understand my chaotically sketched plans. I plan on propagating as many sections as possible for the best chance of success
