@DreamMachine @conta Hi Jan π Bella is beautiful! π Yes just like others have said she is searching for more sunlight. Kalanchoe are considered succulents so they like 6-8 hours of bright indirect light per day. Since it's difficult to determine how much actual light plants get in your home maybe consider getting a light meter. It will give you a better idea as to where your plants will be happiest in your home. Other than it elotating it looks healthy! If you were looking for a more bushy plant, in the Spring, I would recommend cutting the foliage off above the red line to encourage it to fill out. ππ
@conta Hi Jan, My experience is that these do just grow taller without snipping and propagating. Luckily they propagate VERY easily. The cuttings root quickly in water and new growth will appear anywhere you cut on your original plant. I suggest cutting back to last set of leaves if you can, but youβll even get new growth on healthy bare stems if you cut them all the way back ππ» It will look sad and naked at first, but will fill out beautifully. And you can add the rooted cuttings back to the pot for even more fullness πͺ΄
