I have a Kalanchoe manginii mirabella, and I have taken cuttings from it. I don't know whether I should put them in a hetated propagator or not, and I can't find any information on the internet. Can anyone advise me please. Thank you
Think I'd be inclined you use bottom heat at this time of the year, but perhaps leave the top open or off. I never find now a good time for rooting cuttings the days are too short. But worth a try I guess.
Thank you @pete Your help is much appreciated. I think the main plant may be dying, so I took the cuttings to try and save it.
I've found that all the Kalanchoe cuttings that I've done (although not this species) rooted easily enough. It is even possible to remove the foliage on one side of a section of stem, lightly scratch it then lay it down on the top of the soil for it to root in several spots and start multiple plants. Snip the stem into individual plants when they have three sets of leaves, leave for a couple of weeks and then carefully divide and pot up individually. I've never used bottom heat, just a warm room. I have rooted them in the winter - they still root easily enough but the combination of warmth and poor light will result in leggy plants. No big deal in the long run as Kalanchoe are very resilient and if push comes to shove you can just re-root them again in the spring.
Thank you. The cuttings are potted up and in a warm place. I don't know if they'll survive but we'll see
