Description

Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana) is a very unusual succulent (and sometimes a weed) grown for its beautiful symmetrical foliage with neatly aligned babies (offspring) growing along the leaf edges. Tall orange flowers emerge from larger mature pot grown plants. Usually used as a patio or house plant in Kansas, they can also be grown as an annual. Grow in full sun to part sun with optional extra watering including that which comes from rainfall. Plants with time to acclimate will thrive in full sun but be careful not to rush it or sunburning will occur. Generally if moving outside for the summer, allow 2-3 weeks of part shade or morning sun before placing in full sun. Repotting may or may not be needed depending on how large you want the plant to grow; plants can continue to grow and tolerate extremely root-bound pots. Protect from temperatures below 35 degrees F and move into a bright window over the winter with no watering. Do not allow Mother of Thousands grown in pots to freeze solid or get close to freezing especially if soil is wet or death may occur. As a winter house plant, it will look presentable all winter long with just a few monthly or no waterings if you forget. As a permanent house plant, provide bright light and allow the soil to dry between waterings for many years of carefree enjoyment. Note that Mother of Thousands is called so because "babies" constantly fall off the mother plant and can become weeds in your other succulent plants. This is mostly interesting (especially for kids) to see how some plants can propagate. Undesired plants can easily be pulled out and given to a new home.
