# Help!! My kalanchoe looks horrible on one side but has new growth on…

Help!! My kalanchoe looks horrible on one side but has new growth on the other side. I want to help my plant baby but don’t know what to do 😣 I don’t have a set spot in my house for her so I’ve just kept moving her around.

it looks to me like she is sun stressed so try moving her away from the window just a little bit so she still gets a lot of sun but isn’t getting stressed

Thank you!

Okay, don’t try to move her around too much. There could be a few issues going on.

1\. Stress due to changing environment, you have to let her get situated with her surroundings  
2\. New growth is common. If you see some pups (new leaves) coming up from the soil, detached it and it’s roots from the mother plant, and you can start to make another plant out of it! (Stress also from producing new pups)  
3\. Too much sunlight (you can see the scorch marks on the leaves.)

\- I don’t know specifically know much sun this type of plant is supposed to get. I’ll check!

So it does look like they should be in a sunny space. But she is probably stressing from different locations.

My kalanchoes are lopsided like that too, but i keep mine on a shelf so i assumed that was why. Lmk if you figure out something that works!
