Bryophyllum / Kalanchoe delagoense (Mother of Thousands) Houseplant Care - 30 of 365

- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- Here is a plant that taxonomically has been juggled around: Bryophyllum delagoense (aka Kalanchoe delagoense), which is commonly known as "Mother of thousands" or "Mother of millions". I'm not quite sure if taxonomists have settled on whether it should be in "Bryophyllum" or "Kalanchoe" but let's just say it's consider one of those two closely related genera.
This plant, as you'll find out from my story, needs very little care. As a matter of fact, "Care Tips" might be a little too heavy handed. It's more like "lack of care" tips. In speaking with some cacti growers, many consider this genus / species a nuisance and will rip it out of their other planters, since the Bryophyllum's plantlets seem to grow just about anywhere where they can lodge.

Hi Summer! Just to share plant nerdiness, that plant is actually a Kalanchoe x Houghtonii, a hybrid cross between Kalanchoe Daigremontiana (aka "Mother of Thousands) and Kalanchoe Delagoense (aka "Mother of Millions") 😁. Mother of Thousands has actually broader, strappy leaves, whereas Mother of Millions has very thin and spindly leaves with striping. Kalanchoe x Houghtonii carry and show both traits! We have lots of those here in the Philippines and they spread EVERYWHERE. They even become a weed in succulent gardens 😅.
P.S. I love your content! Very simple and, in a way, therapeutic and stress relieving ☺. Plus, I learn a great deal about plants in your channel. Lovelots!
I once "bombed" all grandma's indoor flower pots with the plantlets from these.
It took her 3-4 years to fully eradicate them.
I have this plant for 20 yrs, now. I can be very frustrating almost impossible to kill, lol. I have grown to love it. I had no Idea of its name. Thanks for the wonder vid.
Mother of Thousands in my culture is considered a sacred plant with both medicinal & magical properties. So happy you saved it from being discarded! 😊 Throughout the Greater Antilles in the harsh interiors it can be seen growing up/sheer rock in practically no soil. I even seen it establish itself from just a leaf falling of a window sill. It's an amazing plant!
Hey, do you know what are those medicinal and magical properties? That’s really interesting
Medicine indeed, maybe for a future planning insurance claiming widower/widow. It's poisonous AF! And it's flowers are the most poisonous part of the plant. Hell if you handle them enough to have breakage you should be wearing gloves as it can actually cause heart failure. There's a reason the lady says she never sees any pests eating it. It ain't cause they're all superhealed of ailments and in their elder years reflecting. Yeesh.
This was one of my first succulents. It was a hitchhiker in a cereus pot that I bought at a nursery. 40 yrs later.....I still have the ancestors of both of them! I grow it outside in a pot in part sun and it gets huge. When the winters are mild, it will send up a tall flower cluster. I doesn’t tolerate frost so I’ll cut it back so I can bring it in. The cut back stumps regrow and new plantlets that landed in the dirt get a chance to grow. It’s colonized many other pots and cracks in the deck. I’m always pulling them up. Thanks for your informative videos. They have convinced me to try indoor plants again.
Another day, another video, another plant... learning something everyday. Thanks!
I got this from cuttings as well! A local bookstore gave them to me and after a year it's finally given me babies 💕
In Lithuania we call it "prostitutė" which is a "hooker" in English :D My grandma grows this one for as long as I can remember myself :D Probably I should do a video about it too on my channel, cause I have couple funny stories about it :)
I got this as a small stowaway in the Kalanchoe Humilis that I bought. I'm amazed at how fast this one grows. I was planning on beheading mine to propagate but I found cute little plantlets growing on the big pot of agave next to it which saved me a good time than waiting for cuttings to callous over. When the plantlets grow I'll give them away to friends coz they're really nice plants for beginners.
I received this EXACT plant from a friend and didn't know what it was until just now. You mentioned it not liking the sun, but I've just moved it outside here in the Houston, Texas summer sun/heat (it's potted by the way) and it is THRIVING. It JUST started making these "leaflets" that you speak of and the leaves went from plain green to developing purple zig zags.
Brittney Blair - I recieved one from my son. He lives in south Florida where they are in an abundance. He gave me a list of instructions what not to do. Of course I ignored him, (After all, I'm the Mama. ☺) Anyway, the plant (Gremlin) has doubled in its size in width and height. I have it outside in direct sun light, fertilized it once, water it only when dry. Trained it to grow up straight, and it turned out to be a real beauty.
I was gifted a plant and I found three tiny plantlets in the saucer not knowing what they are, so I stuck them in soil and I was very surprised when they grew into these. It's definitely a very fun plant to keep. Tho mine gets stunted if I don't repot it so when I had the 3 plants in 3 1/2 they grew only about 5 inches tall and never grew larger until I gave them more space, even though they weren't root bound at all. Strange plants.
This plant is considered invasive in south Florida where I live. I have one as a houseplant, but they are rampant outdoors during the spring and summer. I agree that you shouldn't plant them outdoors; they potentially could damage other plant populations.
I am so glad you did this video! This plant is also called the chandelier plant. The one in the nursery grew straight up and my plant grows like yours! I thought I was doing something wrong. I feel better now. Thxs!
Hi Summer ~ what a great find! It sounds like a fun plant to have and share. Thank you for sharing!
OMGlee!! I believe this is the plant I got from Cuba last year!😃 I had no idea what it was called but I thought it was a species of Kalanchoe. Thanks for this video & ID!! 🤗😄💚🌿
I totally agree. I would not recommend growing this outside... It's pretty, but it spreads like weed. : )
I can’t believe it’s already #30! #favoriteclass lol
I have one of these, knew it was a kalanchoe but didnt know the full name. Great video!
I’m presently reading your book « How to make a plant love you » and I was curious to see the plant you rescued. I found this you tube. Thank you for sharing. I love reading your book and watch your related videos at the same time. It help me smile and go through winter (Canada).
I don't currently have this plant, but would like to get it eventually, I have heard that when it drops it's seeds you could have them sprouting everywhere, that could be good or bad, but I still would like to try growing it. Thanks again Summer for another great video.
Nice information! I grow them outdoors and they multiply like crazy!
I love the Game of Thronish vibe to the name ;)
I recently planted a couple in my frost free garden knowing that I’ll be doing some thinning out of the many seedlings in the future.
those look really sad they love hot weather they are much compact and heavier like a tree
It really needs bright light that's why your kalanchoe elongating and doesn't have leaves in the lower part
I gave my mom an unknown baby succulent and it grew into one of these. I was shocked because she kills everything and she told me that she waters it every day. I took home a few plantlets convinced that this plant is invincible. Hers looks very wild like yours I’m pretty excited to watch mine grow.
I have the Bryophyllum / Kalanchoe tubiflora variety (at least that's what I've always called it). While I love the gorgeous, coral-colored flowers, I have to do an annual weeding to remove all of the tubiflora plants from the rest of my pots. Even though the I now have my tubiflora isolated from the rest of my collection, it still seems to magically appear where I least expect it!
this plant was actually growing all over the roof of my grandmother's house without soil or water, and i just plucked a leaf and propogated it in my house
I’d like to see the whole plant please knowing the shape it grows should be really helpful, mine is getting top heavy and falling over a lot ......
I have a tall one that started slanting and I use these green wooden sticks that I got from a shop in their plant section. It works pretty well
thanks Summer, I would like to get this as a houseplant.
Finally have a name for this! Pretty but it takes over and constantly produces plantlets.
Its like a weed thats how i call it i 💘 them though 🌿🌵🌱🌳🌲🌵🌵😍😮🙊🙈
Très original!! J adore🌱
Beautiful
Also known as kalanchoe.mexican hat.there are 6 different ones some cultures have used as medicinal to treat .cancer.headache.cuts.tumor.etc.many videos about it are in other languages
Hi. I live on eastern Long Island and I have a mother of thousands plant. It grows well outside on my deck but not in my house. How do I over winter this plant and keep it from getting leggy. Also I have propagated a few of the pups outside because they go super leggy inside. I love this plant no don’t want to hurt of kill it. Thanks so much!
Mine is dying. I live in Toronto. I got a grow light and a humidifier however it's not enough for all of my plants. The leaves are drooping. Do you think it's not getting enough light? And please tell me how often do you water it?
Thank youuuu
I'm currently propagating these. One has a very long stem. The bottom is dark. Should I cut the stem to remove the darker sections?
I had one that I put out onto my balcony in summer in Toronto. It grew from 6 inches to over 4 feet tall in one season. Eventually I had to give it away because I felt so bad culling all the babies it would drop. This plant is also very toxic to pets.
My sister got one for my dad, and now every single one of my relatives has them and it's not on purpose 🤣🤣🤣
mother of thousands and mother of millions are different plants. Your plant is a mother of millions. Mother of thousands have bigger leaves.
When you describe fertilizers as "2-4-7" etc, I dont know what that means! Have you already done a video explaining fertilizers?
The numbers mean the Npk how much nitrogen and phosphorus and the k stands for potassium .
The next one is about that!
Yeah that is one of the biggest things i have been so confused about! I have yet to understand what i should be using on my plants lol im so glad you commented on this because i am hoping to get more info about fertilizers too
@@TheSweetgurliee I use
I use organic start starter food it for all gardening flowering plants trees shrub etc.It a low fertilizer 211 you can find it at Lowe's. I use it for all of my plants and succulents tropicals and cactus etc.
Do you know what causes them to flower? I’ve only had it happen twice in like 15yrs and no idea what induced it
Needs a dormant period during winter an full sun during the growing season from what I've researched
y would be a very good orchid grower
I have a 1 year old mother of thousand, it starts having “baby plant” on the edges around 3 months ago. There were 6 leaves before and the bottom two died after giving more than 40 “babies”. Two new leaves starts growing now but the bottom two are doing the same thing again :(((
does anyone know what’s going on with my plant? Those two leaves will curl up before dried out completely.
P.s. each leaf will have around 20 baby plants and the plant has a very red stem. (Don’t know if these information helps)
This plant grows on roofs like weeds XD
😊🌿✨💚☺️
😀☺🌱💚💫
I had a pink one but now it’s green 🤷🏻♀️
More light 🌞
The plant you are referring to is Kalanchoe delagoensis. Not delagoense plus however you wrongly pronounced it. Plus, the plant in this video is not K. delagoensis but K. houghtonii, a hybrid. Why do you put up this erroneous video and then never act on corrections that people have offered?
I have no idea how, But i managed to kill a kalanchoe last year.
I have 20+ thriving plants and somehow killed one
😳
Just be careful if you have pets, is very toxic . I also have a few .
It should be mentioned that these are very toxic to pets.
English please

"Why do you -write- post like you're running out of time?"
She's doing them quickly, because she's doing a video a day on top of all of her other posts, appearances, business projects, and having a life.
I don't even know what that means!!
@@summerrayneoakes it's a reference to the musical "Hamilton". You're prolific!
@@summerrayneoakes The last person to "post" that much was the guy who wrote most of the federalist papers in 1788.
It's a Hamilton reference. I don't know why i thought of that.
You're even more prolific than that plant.
She is making 365 videos about plants. That's why she doesn't do an intro or closing.
First!!!
