My kalanchoe is dying
Comments (17)Tiffany, thanks. You are right, that stem was quite healthy. I didn't plan on rooting it, but saw leaves starting to grow, so I stuck it in the pot :) Mariam Did you water the cuttings? If so, they likely started to rot. No roots - no water. I would do as Tiffany suggested. Also, cut it just below the collar, do not leave so much of fleshy stem (that part rots much faster). Make sure there are no black marks of any kind left where the cut is made - these are leftowers of rot and damage will continue. If you see any, keep cutting. It may take longer than couple of weeks for roots to start growing, be patient. And do not pull the plant out of mix, that could damage any tiny roots starting....See MoreKalanchoe Humilis dying quickly, please help!!

Comments (2)Share a few photos of the plant and some history, it will help us point you in the right direction. Too much sun on the roots seems like a strange problem. I would think if its too much for the roots it would be too much for the leaves and flowers....See MoreLaura (Z5a Fort Collins, Colorado)
