Mother of Thousands, also known as Kalanchoe daigremontiana, is an eye-catching and easy-care succulent native to Madagascar. Its most distinguishing feature is the rows of tiny plantlets that grow along the edges of its fleshy, upright leaves. These baby plantlets can root wherever they fall, making the plant famously prolific and giving it its common name.

The plant usually forms a rosette, with broad, elongated, waxy leaves. The leaf margins are lined with regularly spaced plantlets, and the undersides may show purplish or dark stripes. Mature plants can reach up to 2 feet (60cm) tall and wide, creating a dense, lush display. Occasionally, Mother of Thousands will flower—most often indoors this is rare—producing tall stems with chandelier-like clusters of tubular, pink or orange-red bell-shaped blooms.

Mother of Thousands thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for succulents or cacti. It is drought-tolerant and low maintenance, needing water only after the topsoil has completely dried. Overwatering can cause root rot, so allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings. Keep temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and avoid exposure to frost.

The plant is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children. Its rapid self-propagation from leaf plantlets can lead to spreading in garden beds or containers, so be mindful of where you grow it.

With its architectural foliage, ability to produce countless plantlets, and minimal care needs, Mother of Thousands is a unique and rewarding addition to any succulent collection or bright indoor space.
