About Mother of Millions
Kalanchoe delagoensis, commonly known as the "Mother of Thousands" or "Chandelier Plant," is a striking succulent native to Madagascar. This plant is notable for its slender, tubular leaves, which are adorned with numerous plantlets along the edges, ready to drop off and root, thus propagating the species prolifically. It features tall, upright stems that can reach up to three feet in height, often topped with clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink, orange, or red. Kalanchoe delagoensis is well-adapted to arid environments, requiring minimal water and thriving in well-drained soil. Its remarkable ability to reproduce and grow in various conditions makes it both a fascinating ornamental plant and a potentially invasive species in non-native regions.
Care guidance:
- Light: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
- Watering: Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil, like a cactus or succulent mix. Good drainage prevents root rot.
- Temperature: Keep temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.
- Humidity: Prefers low to moderate humidity. Ensure good air circulation.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer in spring and summer. Reduce or stop feeding in fall and winter.
- Propagation: Plantlets form along leaf edges. Place them on soil to root.
- Potting: Repot every 1-2 years. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh soil.
- Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves.
- Toxicity: Keep away from pets and children. Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.
