    I am not much help maybe as I just take a nice short stem and put in a pot with potting soil and it roots. I have several that I did last year and this year. Nothing to it. I have mine on front porch facing east so morning sun. They are doing great.

    There are manu kalanchoes out there, I have but two, several "hot lips" and one that ends up looking like a fuzzy ball. On both of them I just pinch off a "leaf" or "branch" and stick it into my DRY soil. No watering for a couple of weeks, and the after a while I see grows. With the Hot Lips you can just lay it on a paper towel and left the leaf dry. Pretty soon you will see rootless form at the stem end, then transplant, again into dry soil. Here is hoping that helps somewhat.

    Break off a stem at a node (joint) and leave to dry at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours. This allows the formation of callus (wound response healing tissue) to form protective film. Dip in Rootone (hormone powder available in gardening centers, expensive, but one jar will last most of a lifetime) and set 1" deep in loose potting soil. Water sparingly (every other day or so). You should see new growth in a few weeks. This technique works for many succulents like jade plant, wax plant, etc.

    Here in Florida, we just break off a side branch and stick it in the ground. If you keep the soil damp, it will root in no time. We have very sandy soil so it makes it easy to do this. If you have heavy soil, it would stay too wet and would suggest doing this in a pot of light potting soil instead.
