Hi friends,
I inherited a Kalanchoe from a friend that moved upstate that was already riding the struggle bus. As time went on leaves just started rotting and falling off, with some of the stems turning brown and rotting in certain places. Since the time has come and gone to get help with avoiding that problem, my question is what to do with the remaining stems/part of the plant that is still alive? I was thinking of cutting the remaining 3 stems (branches?) off and potting them separately. Is this a good idea? Will it survive? Any advice whether in this direction or another is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and expertise!

Pics for reference (don't mind the Maranata in the same pot, I need a quick place to put a cutting ;) )

Kalanchoe are easy to root and should not be a problem. You can do stem rooting and leaf rooting with your Kalanchoe. I just laid a few leaves on top of some soil and watered about one time a week and got roots. Also I stuck a few stems in soil and they rooted very easy. Here are some photos of my Mother Kalanchoe and cuttings.

So beautiful oneeye! Momma and babes look so happy (y) Thanks for the advice. I'll try out stem rooting and post updates in a couple months.
