This fuzzy-leaved Kalanchoe propagates readily from leaves, following the same drying rule as its relatives. The fuzzy texture makes it easy to see when a leaf has calloused — the cut end visibly dries and dulls.
Leaf cutting
- Gently remove a plump leaf, keeping the base intact.
- Let dry 2–3 days.
- Lay flat on dry succulent mix.
- Mist lightly every few days.
When to propagate
Spring and summer.
Common problems
Leaf rotted. Not enough drying time — extend the callusing period.
