Niiice! So exciting. I just got some mother of thousands plantlets from a neighbor. I had them in water about two weeks, and they were really taking off. Just transplanted them to soil. Excited to see what happens!
my grandmother is in the garden club in my county and she could tell you just about anything you wanted to know about this plant as she grows TONS of it lol. i dont really care much for it because of its invasive nature and the fact that it only blooms about every two years...according to her. that said i did enjoy the fact that my bloomed this year (not a real pretty bloom but was still cool to see it bloom) and i will enjoy growing it to sell at flea markets.
I started with 2 of the plantlets 2 yrs ago and have grown to about foot and a half. I planted over a hundred plantlets from them and ran out of room in my yard. Easy to grow.
Hello Diane! Thanks for this video. My SIL gave me a small MOT's plant at the end of June. It is now 6th generation leaves and babies all over the place. I'm beginning to think it's actually an invasive species, although they are just beautiful. I am almost obsessed with this plant. I have propagated to 12 other containers; given most away, brought rooted babies to friends, appointments, social visits! Oh, BYW, Kalanchoe is pronounced Ka-lanch'-o.
@@dianemummvideos To address your question "do the plantlets grow back once you remove them?", it seems like mine did begin to grow back but I didn't have the chance for the "second batch" removed from the mother plant. I am in South Louisiana and we had a bitter cold spell for a couple of weeks and yes, it gets bitter here, that absolutely froze my large ones; however, the babies that were embedded in the soil have begun to grow again. I now have about 10 container pots with multiple babies growing. Since Summer is around the corner, I will have more time to harvest and see if it regenerates more plantlets! I also will be able to propagate my Alligator Plant which will be my first ever. Thanks for the info Diane!
I have some of these that Ive had for 50 years.... I even have 2 or 3 that look distinctly different from each other as the plants have changed over the years and generations.... I recall when I was young a story about some guy in san bernadino ca who was famous for developing like a dozen verieties of these and i do recall there being more around when I was young
Lovely plants! I've noticed on mine that occasionally the leaves will re-grow plant-lets, though I don't know under what circumstances they will do that. If you take a leaf from them, like you would another type of succulent, that the leaf will start to grow plant-lets again. My kalanchoe is variegated, so unfortunately I can only propagate from seed and plant cuttings.
I Have 4 Larger Alligator One's Around 6-8" Tall That Was All In the Same Pot Along With Apx 25-30 Babies/'Plantlets' That I RePotted Just LastNight. They're Very Hardy, I Just Love Em! .. I Started Out With One Last Summer, Ending Up With Several By the End Of Summer, Brought Them InSide, Wasn't Doin Something Right, And They All Died On Me. So I Thought I'd Try Them AGain a Couple Weeks Ago. I'd Finally I Separated Them, Which Brings Me to These Video's.. Any Tips And/Or Suggestions Would Be Greatly Appriciated! So 'Thank You' All In Advance! :)
thank you! just got some plantlets of the mexican hat variety and cant wait for mine to get big and beautiful :) I plan on giving plantlets to friends and coworkers in the future for free I just love the way the plant looks! Also got some panda plant cuttings but they arent doing so well :(
Thank you. I received a plant as a freebee with some Dragon Fruit plant cuttings. I didn't know what they were. Mine are growing just fine. I have way more than I could ever need. So I've been growing babies and giving them away.
***** If you are still willing to share I can't get my hands on this any of these locally. I live in Virginia so they won't work outside but will work inside. My mom and a friend of mine are also looking for these as well.
+Cindy stebbins I would love to have some. do you have the alligator (dark one ) or light green one. I was looking for the one like in this video that she took the little buds off of.
i dont know if anyone haas answered your question about the plant producing mroe babies after you pick the first set off and i awas not sure what variety you wanted to know about...the Mother of Thousands i have no idea about but the alligator will live for about 2 yrs before it blooms then dies. and if im not mistaken the leaves will put on more babies (not sure if it would in the same season or not) but surely the following season it would make more.
im new to the whole plant thing i got a mother of a thousands last year in spring at a bakesale at my highschool i was wondering how i should repot them and how i should get it out of the pot without breaking any roots? My mother of a thousands wont grow anymore cuz of the pot size.
I live in the eastern southwest part of AZ, higher dessert around 4000 feet and have mine outside during but not when temps start dropping. It grows very fast - literally took off this summer and I'm in the process of trying to figure where to put it for this winter. I also have it propped with a chair since it is top heavy and has a couple of curves. Anyway it is and if was straight a good 6' and has been in the same pot for two seasons.Watching it I don't think the baby seem to reproduce in the same area or as much. Though I could be wrong. It a wonderful plant of interest and all seem to enjoy it. I liked the video and plan on checking your site out.
btw, the plantlets do grow back! I removed all from my source plant and transplanted them.. about a week later it had some new ones (which I removed and discarded)
if you are growing the alligator kalanchoe you need to stay on top of picking the baby growth off of the mother plant because (at least in my area...N.W. FL) they will TAKE OVER. they can be very invasive and produce many baby starts on the leaves. what you saw in this video was mild to what they can do. these plants can get up pretty high. i had one that was about 3.5 - 4 ft high and every one of the leaves can have anywhere from 20-30 or more beby growths. that being said frost will kill them.
@Allen2045 , are you above freezing temps?? we here in Iowa are usually safe after mothers day, but many start sooner.. cool crops work in colder temps, the peppers , tomato, melon crops like warm weather and ground temp before planting. So depending on your weather, you should go by that..
Abe Hostetter Jr if i remember correctly, yes they do grow back. I had one a long time ago(aprox 30-35 years ago). i remember taking and sprinkling them around the high school green house. and like i said i do believe they do.
Your video on mother of thousandw and alligater plants are very well done. However, I'm having a problem getting more succullent plants from other places. These plants are; mother of thousands, alligater plant, leopard lilly, zebra plant, rosery vine (string of hearts), string if pearls and living stones (lothops). I wrote to you a couple of days ago, but my message was broken. Do youthink you can help mre??? I want to know where ant how I can get some babies and seeds so I can grow them.By the way, keep up the good work!!!Thanks Diane. ;))))
Thanks. I have the maternity plant as you show here but mine has a lot of pink/red on it, Small yet! Btw/I love plants but have so many/Whatever do you do with all yours. I think plants are addictive .:-)
since there is so many babies I guess it really doesn't matter to me.. I had to get rid of many just had too many growing around here..LOL they are crazy producer but neat at the same time..
do you still have these plants? I've been searching for the lighter green one that you were taking the small plants off of but can't seem to find it anywhere in Canada. if you do, can you send me some leaves and/or small buds? I will pay for the shipping.
I just got this plant (Mother of thousands) and I need some help please! I have had it for a month and some of the leaves are becoming very limp and yellow. There are many baby's on it and at the base of the leaves is new growth. Should I cut the leaves off and let the new growth come in? I am wondering if I am over watering it and also what kind of soil and size of pot. My mother in law passed away a month ago and she told my father in law to make sure I got this plant because she knew I loved it. It has a lot of meaning to me and I don't want to kill it. Thank you
+Shawna Erickson , Is your Kalanchoe in the original soil as when you received it from mother inlaw? Its very important that succulents are in A cacti/succulent soil mix -ALSO do NOT over water - They only need watering once a week -Hope my answers aren't to late -I see this is an older video :) Can also look into some propagating techniques JUST incase something happens to your sentimental plant so to have it 4 EVER
oh ya they regrow and no ive seen mother plants grow to be quite large.....one leaf can continue to regenerate and make generations and generations of plants
@@sunkissbrown oops I missed your comment. I still have them (many more now) and still willing. Is there a way that I can reach you? Maybe IG or Twitter or a throwaway email even. I’d love to get you some.
hi Diane, I liked those bigger plants better with the bigger leaves but I can't find them anywhere can you maybe send me some plant let's or will they crush? and I have one the same size as the first ones you showed, and the same kind. why isn't it getting any plant let's? can you help? thanks check out my chanel kidvsworld please and share with your friends thanks have a great day
I know this is 8 years old but it was very helpful! Thank you!
yeah it is amazing how fast life goes by, glad it helped

you know I have yet to see this happen but it really makes sense, same as hens and chicks possibly..
yes they will regrown after pulling them off.
@Allen2045 , hey Paula, thanks again for stopping by, you are my video pal now.. and I hope you did learn something.. :)
thanks for the info. I brought some back from my son's yard in st thomas island. didn't know what they were. Planted them in cactus soil. going crazy!

I have been growing these for some time and I have not seen them regenerate another plantlet from the same site. Both varieties.

+Diane Mumm Garden Videos great video. btw its pronounced kal-an-koa-ee
thanks for the video
I have this plant and it grew so well but then the actual leaves died n fell off what did I do wrong n i do have the little one that fell off
It's my favorite plant.Noble and beautiful and also medicinal.
it was a pretty neat plant.. I no longer have any.. but did find it unique and prolific..
My Kalonche (alligator) is totally droopy, it is growing but the leafs have gotten tough and not have dropped. Please help me.

not sure on the seeds, try ebay.. or google search for plants.. :)
yes they do regrow
Hi there, I don't have many of these anymore... sorry
It’s called Mother of a thousand babies 🤗
Thanks.
I have the maternity plant as you show here but mine has a lot of pink/red on it,
Small yet!
Btw/I love plants but have so many/Whatever do you do with all yours.
I think plants are addictive .:-)
yes they regrow
since there is so many babies I guess it really doesn't matter to me.. I had to get rid of many just had too many growing around here..LOL they are crazy producer but neat at the same time..
i was wondering were can i buy a few of the different plants i had one and it gotten throwen out. I would like to buy a few different ones. thank you
I recently became interested in Kalanchoe and have found a number of varieties available on-line at different sites.
sometimes I have to give away or throw away... and yes an addiction is correct...
do you still have these plants? I've been searching for the lighter green one that you were taking the small plants off of but can't seem to find it anywhere in Canada. if you do, can you send me some leaves and/or small buds? I will pay for the shipping.
#Diane do you happen to have any of these for sale ? Id love to get some. Tyvm
it seems that my Kalanchoe delagoensis does not stand straight. what do i do?
Use something to stake it up..
if you remove them before they are naturally supposed to fall off they will grow back
Do these plantlets grow long trails of leaves on fine filaments?
mine grew big leaves with baby plantlets along the edge of the leaves..
Hi..i have a kalanchoe plant indoors now..the flowers are drying up..will they have seeds in them or do i have to pollinate them?and how plz..thx
The plant has no seeds, the plantlets will simply drop off of the leaves
@@ErickaAJo thanks
yes it has been a while since I have had these plants but propagation is really easy..

Very pretty plant I love the look of them, but they are banned in Qld, Australia, they choke the native plants.
I believe it... very prolific
Hi there my name is Po I saw your show above the green Kalanchoe mother of thousand and I wanted some to grow where do I go to buy it
you can try a search on google
what is the best soil for this
succulent soil would work good
How long does it take for a plantlet to reach marketable size?
it really depends where you are growing them and care.. they grow pretty fast here in the midwest if I place them in a greenhouse
Do you sell the mother of thousands of babies plants?
No I no longer have this plant.. thanks for asking!
Mother of thousands can be invasive! It can take over the garden. After all it is "mother of thousands"...
yes I have heard..
Can I keep a mother of thousands in my house?
I mean, indoor
Yes, they do great inside with good lighting.
thanks, my babies are growing like crazy indoors
oh ya they regrow and no ive seen mother plants grow to be quite large.....one leaf can continue to regenerate and make generations and generations of plants
Do you sell them? I want to buy some Mother of a thousands.
I have the darker variety shown in the video free of charge if you’re still interested
would you share some of those beautiful babies?
I’m a bit late but if you’re still interested I’d gladly share some with ya. I have the darker variety shown in this video
I am growing my own mother of 1000 babies
Can anyone tell me where to get this beautiful plant or would anyone who has a mother of thousand and would like to share some babies?
7 years later but I have the darker variety she shows in this video. Are you still interested?
I love all plants so yes any babies you would like to share I will give them a good home
@@sunkissbrown oops I missed your comment. I still have them (many more now) and still willing. Is there a way that I can reach you? Maybe IG or Twitter or a throwaway email even. I’d love to get you some.
i think i killed mine recently i would love some new seeds can anyone help?
7 years later but did you kill it? And if yes do you want more? I have the darker variety she shows in this video.
I can help. I have the darker variety shown in the video if you’re still interested
plant them all and sell them >:D
or better yet give them to people who comment and are subscribed to your channel
hi Diane, I liked those bigger plants better with the bigger leaves but I can't find them anywhere can you maybe send me some plant let's or will they crush? and I have one the same size as the first ones you showed, and the same kind. why isn't it getting any plant let's? can you help? thanks check out my chanel kidvsworld please and share with your friends thanks have a great day
So the correct way of pronouncing it is: kalenque. The last QUE is pronounced like the word KEPT.... So jus say Kalenkept,..without the last PT. :-)
thank you Jaime..
its pronounced kal-an-koa-ee
That's the American way of saying it, I think. The British way of saying it is kal-an-cho
