Kalanchoe daigremontiana is a succulent from Madagascar, known for its fascinating method of reproduction as well as its striking beauty.
The leaves have a distinct coloring – green on top with a bluish hue, striped purple on the bottom.
The inflorescences shoot up on long stalks and produce small orange and pink bell flowers. It is rare that it will bloom indoors.
They are particularly capable of withstanding periods of drought as well as thriving in rock and dry soil.
They grow in bunches, constantly dropping their pups , forming large colonies and capable of taking over entire garden boxes and indoor planters. When they are many, they begin to look like a pre-historic forest. Something out of Jurassic Park maybe.
It’s great, highly recommend.
Nota Bene:
-
- The flowering is dependent on the climate, though largely at the beginning of spring in temperate climates.
- The Kalanchoe, as succulents, are absolutely NOT frost-tolerant. Especially if you live in an area with high humidity, they will perish.
The Tale:
It is colloquially known as “Mother of Thousands” because this plant propagates vegetatively, producing thousands of little plantlets on its leaf margins.
You can just place the plantlets on the dry soil, cover them with a bit of shrink wrap – and voila, another mother!
Be careful – what is marvelous on the one hand can quickly become treacherous on the other. The propicious reproduction of the plant can make it invasive, so make sure to keep an eye on your ecosystem.
