The leaves on this one gets leaves growing around the edge. The 'seedlings' can be used to grow more plants. It's awesome but I do not know what it is called. Not many seedlings in this picture but I hope there is enough for you to recognize it.


Drought Smart Plants reply:

Hi June - this is one of the most interesting plants, and I get asked about it a lot. They seem to look different depending on the conditions you grow them in, but they're all related to these plants; on the bottom of the page here: Kalanchoe daigremontiana you can see other stories from visitors.

There is also another similar plant with the same characteristic of producing tiny plants on the leaves here: Kalanchoe delagoensis.

As you may have already guessed, Kalanchoe are a strange breed.

There are more of them here; Kalanchoe species although there are no others with that particular trait.

Happy Succulent Growing!
