Where should I prune my Kalanchoe to encourage more growth? I have this Kalanchoe cutting that I took recently, which started blooming pretty much immediately after. I have since removed the flowers to press after taking this photo because they were starting to wilt, but I think I should also be pruning it to get rid of the etoliation and hopefully encourage more outward growth. Is the place with the red line a good place to cut or should I be doing something else? Any advice would be super helpful!

    I would snip at the very base of the flower stem. To encourage bushier plant pinch off the tiny new leaves as they appear at the end of each leaf set

      Thanks! To clarify do you mean even lower than the red line i drew? Or right under the flowers? And then remove the two tiniest leaves there?

    Yes lower than the red line. Cut at the very bottom of the stem
