Kalanchoe Mother of Thousands - Live Plant in a 2 Inch Pot - Kalanchoe Daigremontiana - Beautiful Indoor Outdoor Cacti Succulent Houseplant

If you're looking for a unique and undemanding houseplant, then you can't go wrong with mother of thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana), a forgiving and low-maintenance succulent. Mother of Thousands is a succulent that grows from a single stem, covered top to bottom with big, blue-green leaves. Its narrow, pointed leaves can grow to 6 in (15 cm) long and about half as wide. The real attraction are the tiny plantlets that grow along the edges of the leaves, which easily fall off and will root where they drop. While you can grow this plant outdoors if you live in a tropical climate that does not receive freezing temperatures (USDA hardiness zones 9-11, for example), most plant lovers grow it as a houseplant. The mother of thousands plant is not frost tolerant and will readily succumb to freezing temperatures. When learning how to grow Kalanchoe indoors, locate the plant in bright, but indirect light for several hours per day. When growing Kalanchoe outdoors, avoid direct afternoon sun. Houseplants will benefit from spending the summer outside; just make sure to introduce them to the outside atmosphere gradually and begin their outdoor stay with limited morning sun. The mother of thousands is drought-tolerant, but not as much as many succulent species. It'll do better if it receives regular and gradual hydration, especially during its growing season. Still, it only needs water once every few weeks, even in spring and summer. It won't be a major problem if you forget now and again.
