mother of millions

🌱 Mother of Millions (Kalanchoe delagoensis) Overview

Mother of Millions is a fast-growing, highly prolific succulent known for its ability to produce tiny baby plantlets along the edges of its leaves. These plantlets easily drop and root, allowing the plant to “multiply by the millions,” which is how it earned its name.

It is hardy, drought-tolerant, and extremely easy to grow—sometimes too easy—so it’s best kept contained.
