What an unusual plant. Wiki says it's common but I haven't come across it before.  Do you think it is a money plant Jaistar? |

Succulents aren't my thing really, so they all look a bit unusual to me It is pretty and sounds very easy to propogate. Look in tomorrow when there's more folk about and see if anyone can tell you for sure. |

I am not into succulents either I am afraid but could it be from the Kalanchoe family - the leaves seem a little similar.

Looks like a Kalanchoe to me but the plantlets on the leaf are making me thing otherwise. Definately not a money/jade tree.

Try a Devil's Backbone? Bryophyllum daigremontianum.

Try a Devil's Backbone? Bryophyllum daigremontianum. That's the fella. It's one of those plants that i've seen 25 odd years ago and knew the name then but haven't seen it since. |

I've seen these before and the name Mother of Thousands springs to mind. Those are little plantlets on the edge of the leaves and after I while they grow thier own little roots, I reckon on that last photo you can see some fine roots on a couple that are on the end of that leaf on the right  |

I thought it might be mother of thousands too but I thought they had more rounded leaves?? Oh dear, how confusing !

The annoying thing is that I've seen one of these before. I think my late Grandma used to grow them. Just surfing around, Mother of Thousands/Mexican Hat Plant, aka "Kalanchoe diagremontiana" would be my choice.... davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/12858 |

Yesterday, when I was looking up something completely unrelated, I came across a picture of this plant and knew I recognised it from when I first joined this board and was having a look around. Great, I thought, I'll post a reply. Having found the thread, I see the query is already answered! so, rather belatedly, I'll say I think it's Kalanchoe diagremontiana! Jsy a few months late.....!

That doesn't matter Wintersday - you don't have to answer queries to join in! Oh and well done because there's no way I would have known what it was!! |

I just showed a pic of the plant to my OH and he said oh thats a mexican hat plant. Had to share that with you cos he's so proud he actually knew what sort of plant it was. Can also be called a friendship plant apparently
