What do you do when your kalanchoe gets leggy
Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies'
Kalanchoe
I have a pink butterflies kalanchoe and it is getting VERY tall/long and has lost a lot of its leaves along the base of the stem.
We keep our home 65° year round so the indoor succulents don't thrive as well inside as they do outside

The first step is to verify that your plant is getting enough light. Legginess is a classic symptom caused by a lack of light. Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' needs 5 or 6 hours of bright sunlight a day to be happy. If its pink color is fading, that's another good sign that your plant isn't getting enough light. If your plant isn't getting enough light any pruning efforts will merely harm the plant because it won't have the energy required for new growth.
Then, simply follow the steps at the link below.
