The listing, ✰ Mother Of Thousands Kalanchoe Alligator Pregnant Chandelier Plant ✰ Another indestructible! has ended.
This plant has a lot of names! I sometimes think it's in the Plant Witness Protection Program, from of all its aliases! The botanical name for it is Kalanchoe delagoensis. It's also known as Mother Of Thousands, Alligator plant, Pregnant plant, Frog plant, or Chandelier plant. The first time I found it growing in my yard 10+ years ago, I saw the pretty but weird red flowers growing from it like teardrops in a downward pattern, rather than up to the sun, and the lovely, plump chevron patterned leaves. We called it the Outer Space plant because it grew so quickly, and seemed to just pop up overnight. So, be warned that this propagates quickly! It's a Tropical Perennial. If left on its own outside in a sub-tropical/tropical climate, it will grow from 2' - 4' high! Indoors in containers it also does very well. If you're in a cold climate, it will have to be moved indoors when temps drop, because it WILL NOT survive a frost. All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. It is drought-tolerant. It is a truly maintenance-free plant! If you don't have a green thumb, it's the plant for you! Will be picked fresh before shipping. You'll get 40+ plantlets - the little babies on the end of leaves.
