Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana)

Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana), also called Mexican Hat Plant or Devil's Backbone, is a fascinating succulent that produces countless tiny plantlets along the margins of its leaves. These plantlets drop off and root easily, giving the plant its prolific name.

It has thick, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves, often with purple blotches on the underside. Tall flower spikes with tubular pinkish-gray flowers may appear in winter. Native to Madagascar.

It thrives in bright light, well-drained soil, and infrequent watering. It can become invasive in warm climates due to its prolific reproduction. All parts are toxic if ingested.
