Grow a pot of mother of thousands, and its leaves will be covered with baby plantlets

Mother of thousands - just hearing the name must have caught your attention, right? How easy must this plant be to grow for it to get such a name? If the plants you grow could reach such a level, you would probably laugh yourself awake at night! In fact, it has another name: the never-die plant (Kalanchoe daigremontiana). Well, that alone is enough to prove just how tenacious its vitality is!

In fact, the most distinctive feature of the mother of thousands is that even its leaves are covered with tiny plantlets. Once they grow up, they fall to the ground and then a new plant grows from them. So this is an excellent first choice for people just starting to grow flowers. If you are tempted, come take a look with Huahua!

The mother of thousands prefers a somewhat humid living environment. We can usually just keep it on the balcony, because the sunlight there is fairly abundant, and with regular watering, its leaves will grow many tiny plantlets.

Because the mother of thousands is not very demanding about soil, we can just use ordinary garden soil when growing it, but make sure it drains and breathes well - otherwise no easy-care plant can withstand such abuse. As for fertilizing, once or twice a month is enough; too frequent is actually harmful. Just pay attention to watering and keeping the soil moist.

Because it grows fairly fast, we need to prune it and try to keep its height down, so that its growth stays compact and its ornamental value becomes stronger. With normal care, the mother of thousands will also bloom. The flowers are not that stunning, but their shape closely resembles a trumpet, so overall it is quite special.

The tiny plantlets that grow on the leaves of the mother of thousands all have aerial roots, so when growing it, choose a larger pot, so that when the plantlets fall, they can grow directly in the pot, which also saves a bit of trouble.

As for those fallen plantlets, we can let them stay in the original pot, or of course, we can move them out, which effectively gives you several extra pots at once. But note that it is best to wait until they have grown a little more stable before moving them out. For a plant with such strong reproductive power, it is recommended to grow just one pot, lest growing too many turns into an overrun!
