I was given a mother of 1,000s a few months ago. I didn't know what it was at the time. I stuck it in a southern window and just watered it. It was 3 inches tall when I got it. Now it's 2 and a half feet tall. I knew nothing about how to care for it and its babies. I just knew I needed to trim it before its too tall for my window. Thank you for this video. I was afraid I'd kill it if I messed with it too much. It really is a beautiful plant and I see why they call it what they do. I normally only collect different varieties of pothos plants to grow. So this was all new to me. Now I know I can care for it thanks to you. The poor thing is in a tiny 3 inch pot so I need to put it in something more substantial. I'm going to watch more of your videos so I can learn more. You're a great teacher. Thanks so much! 🙂
Thats fantastic your Mother of thousands plant is growing so well and WOW at being 2 and a half feet tall, they can grow quite tall and its so good that they can be pruned back, I notice that mine often die after they have flowered but they leave behind all their little plantlets that can be planted to grow and the whole cycle of them starts again, happy growing to you and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

Hi Lyn! These Mother of Thousands plants really needed a good prune...now they will be better when planted. That is the ugly bit of these plants, that they grow leggy! I have a leaf with little babies on potting mix, maybe they will grow a little and plant them in one pot! Sending you lots of love Lyn and Hans whilst hoping you have a wonderful Sunday evening!
It was so good to give these Mother of thousands plants a good pruning Sylvia :-D they can grow so leggy and a good pruning helps to tidy them up, thats wonderful news you have a leaf with babies propagating, they root so well from their little plantlets, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a wonderful afternoon XXXX

I had a flapjack plant that I kept in the front of our house and really loved it dearly. It sent a flower stalk up the first year I had it but the plant survived. I dug it up 2 times and cut the babies that were shooting up off the mother plant and potted them up individually. Each time I put the big mother plant back in. Well, each time the "mother" would wither away and the biggest daughter kind of took over the plant. We had to move houses last year. I dug it up again and this time it had grown in a way that didn't leave much left on the original root ball and stem. I cut everything off it and propagated the babies in their own pots (like 8-9 of them!) and gave a few to friends. I looked at the bare rooted stem and thought "I wonder if this will regrow a new plant. I'll put it back in the dirt and leave it for the new owner." Immediately it started to grow new leaves. After all the furniture was gone and we closed on the house, I went to water it one last time. It was a gorgeous cluster of babies and leaves again. :) I really, REALLY hope the new owners love it and propagate it the same way I did. I planted some prickly pears next to it to shade it a bit but I hope the new owners water and feed it and insulate it over winter like I did. I still have the biggest "daughter" with me at the new place and as a matter of fact I'm about to cut the babies off if it and repot them now. :) If you keep and love even just 1 flapjack, you better be prepared for the years to come because you'll end up with more than you can handle soon enough. 😁
Thats so wonderful to read all about your Flapjack plant, thats so incredible, and its remarkable how these plants will recover and re propagate them selves once cut back, I bet the new owners will look after it too, and its wonderful you have the biggest 'baby' at your new house, and yes so true they will definitely take over and we end up with more than we can handle soon enough haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX

I have an entire garden full of them since we had a bad storm last yr! I have a few types. A variegated one with darker stripes (I think it's called Donkey Kalancho?) But I found a teapot in my garden full of babies in the spout and around the top! I swear these guys spread like wildfire! But I let them bloom bc the hummingbirds and butterflies the nectar! Lots of love from the Florida Keys USA 🥰💚✌
haha, yes they really spread like wildfire and I am always finding the plantlets growing everywhere possible, a couple of years ago I even found a plantlet growing at the back of the radiator in our house, it was one that had fallen off the Mother plant that was on the shelf and it must have gone months without soil or water and been very hot at the back of the radiator, and this plantlet was fully formed and although a bit yellow due to the lack of light it recovered well once planted up in soil and light haha, I bet all yours are so beautiful and perfect for the hummingbirds and butterflies too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Florida Keys for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX

Hi there, its best to let the prunings dry for a day or two to let the cut ends dry as this helps to prevent the changes of any rot, I do know some growers that put the prunings into water straight after cutting them to root them in water and this works well for them too, but its not a method I have tried with these plants yet, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and wishing you a fantastic plant powered weekend XXXXX
Thanks for the video! I got one from someone else that became sun scorched. i moved it away from the window and now it has nice green stem and new healthy leaves at the top but the bottom parts of the stem are darker green/brown and the leaves are still curled and brown. Can I save it by pruning back to the bottom of the stem or is my only option to take cuttings from the healthy top part and propagate?
Hi Yamile :-D I definitely think its best to take cuttings from the top healthier part, you can still cut it back to the bottom of the stem too as it should still re shoot from the bottom part of the stem, but the healthier top part will propagate much easier, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead XXXX

Hi Carmen :-D so sorry to hear about your Mother of Thousands plant, it can be due to many things but the most common is either under or over watering or insect pests or low temperatures, if its none of these thing it may be best to remove it from the pot to check that there are no signs of hidden root insect pests in the soil, these plants can go a bit limp and feel like lettuce if the temperature and or humidity is too high, Good luck with your plant and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Sunday today XXXX
Hi Veronica :-D its very common for the leaves to blister with over watering, the good news is its harmless and more of an aesthetic problem and you don't need to remove the leaves, thanks so much for watching and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Thursday today XXXX
Hi there, yes you can propagate them from a leaf too, I have had the single leaves root too if they are placed on top of the soil, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Thanks for lovely video on the Mother of Thousands!. I bought a little one (2” pot”) and instead of growing like crazy it lost leaves. Now it gets up to 4 tiny leaves and then loses two, and gets up to four and loses two... I call mine the Mother of TWO! Thousands, ha! Just wish I had Ten....😳
So happy you loved the video and I bet your Mother of thousands plant will put out a lot of new leaves in the near future :-D it may have lost leaves temporarily due to the move from the nursery to your home and once it acclimatises it will grow like crazy haha
Hi! Any advice on how to save a very young leggy mother of thousands? I propagated 5 seeds and they have grown tall and look healthy, but they flop over very badly and idk what to do to help them. I’ve put them out in the sun everyday since they started to flop, and I’ve let them get a breeze so hopefully their stems would toughen up. I’ve tied them all to toothpicks to keep them upright but without the toothpicks, they just don’t stand up. Advice?? Can I cut them down like in this video, even though they’re still so young?
My mother of thousands is only one stem and is very leggy and is over a year old. Can I cut the top part off and replant, and leave the roots to start a new plant?
Hi Dana, yes you can prune the top part and re root, new growth will appear from the roots too, if you prune the plant new growth will also grow from the sides and make the plant more bushy, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and wishing you a fantastic plant powered new week XXXX
@desertplantsofavalon thank you your videos on this particular plant was helpful. I sure hope my mother plant survives. It was very stressful before she arrived to me. Took over a month after we ordered it. We ordered 5 plants... some did not survive. I'm hoping this helps to revive and make it bustier. As she is very thin her one stem.
Howdy neighbour Haha lyn the mother of thousands plant you gifted me isnt doing well at all :((( I've never had it before and I really don't want to lose it please help lol xxxxxx
Howdy John our wonderful neighbour :-D don't you worry at all, as we can send you more LOL! if it doesn't make it, we can send you the little plantletts and its much easier to grow them from scratch from the little babies, the Kalanchoe fedenchenkoi cuttings we sent you is also another type of Mother of thousands, but the Kalanchoe daigremontiana is the most common one, but don't you worry one bit as we can post you some babies and they root so easy and grow well from babies, we also had a Kalanchoe tubiflora Mother of Thousands plant for you but we couldn't fit it in the box LOL! but we can post the babies of this one too :-D don't you worry one bit, sending you and your Partner loads of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from down the road haha from Hans and me for a wonderful afternoon XXXXX

Thanks a bunch for the info! I hate how weird my mother of thousands is growing.
So happy you loved the info, these Mother of Thousands plants can grow quite wacky as they mature, thanks so much for watching and wishing you a wonderful plant powered Sunday XXXX
I have a 10 foot plus one and the top flowers are amazing is that common to grow that tall. I did have a stake holding it straight for support

Hi from Canada,love your teaching a whole bunch,can u tell me why my mother off 1.000.00 went limp and soggy??? I hope u can help me.thanks.
Hi Carmen :-D so sorry to hear about your Mother of Thousands plant, it can be due to many things but the most common is either under or over watering or insect pests or low temperatures, if its none of these thing it may be best to remove it from the pot to check that there are no signs of hidden root insect pests in the soil, these plants can go a bit limp and feel like lettuce if the temperature and or humidity is too high, Good luck with your plant and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Sunday today XXXX
My mother of thousands plant. I think i've overwatered it, the leaves have blistered, and i'm not quite sure what to do?
Do I remove them?
Hi Veronica :-D its very common for the leaves to blister with over watering, the good news is its harmless and more of an aesthetic problem and you don't need to remove the leaves, thanks so much for watching and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Thursday today XXXX
Can we propagate from leaf?? I'm not sure if you mentioned it 😅 thank you
Hi there, yes you can propagate them from a leaf too, I have had the single leaves root too if they are placed on top of the soil, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Thanks for lovely video on the Mother of Thousands!. I bought a little one (2” pot”) and instead of growing like crazy it lost leaves. Now it gets up to 4 tiny leaves and then loses two, and gets up to four and loses two... I call mine the Mother of TWO! Thousands, ha! Just wish I had Ten....😳
So happy you loved the video and I bet your Mother of thousands plant will put out a lot of new leaves in the near future :-D it may have lost leaves temporarily due to the move from the nursery to your home and once it acclimatises it will grow like crazy haha
Hi! Any advice on how to save a very young leggy mother of thousands? I propagated 5 seeds and they have grown tall and look healthy, but they flop over very badly and idk what to do to help them. I’ve put them out in the sun everyday since they started to flop, and I’ve let them get a breeze so hopefully their stems would toughen up. I’ve tied them all to toothpicks to keep them upright but without the toothpicks, they just don’t stand up. Advice?? Can I cut them down like in this video, even though they’re still so young?
Hi Cori :-D so sorry for only just seeing your comment now
My mother of thousands is only one stem and is very leggy and is over a year old. Can I cut the top part off and replant, and leave the roots to start a new plant?
Hi Dana, yes you can prune the top part and re root, new growth will appear from the roots too, if you prune the plant new growth will also grow from the sides and make the plant more bushy, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and wishing you a fantastic plant powered new week XXXX
@desertplantsofavalon thank you your videos on this particular plant was helpful. I sure hope my mother plant survives. It was very stressful before she arrived to me. Took over a month after we ordered it. We ordered 5 plants... some did not survive. I'm hoping this helps to revive and make it bustier. As she is very thin her one stem.
