Here’s Ember just after I saved her from Walmart, on the right. And a group of months later…how she’s doing now!!! Any suggestions on pruning, to promote more flowers? Or any other tips y’all have are very welcome!

Kalanchoe flowers are tricky, they have to go through a darkness period to trigger them again. They need at most 12hrs of light per day, and then complete darkness for the other 12+hrs.  
For division they’re incredibly easy, sometimes they’ll actually start growing roots at the nodes and you can just snip them there and pot.  
Give as much light as possible, and keep an eye on the roots because sometimes they grow crazy fast :)
