Mother of Thousands

My little plantie has plantlets!

My plant is a Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontiana), which I got as a freebie from the American Society of Plant Biologists meeting last August.  It reproduces asexually by making baby plantlets on the edges of its leaves.  Eventually, the baby plantlets will fall off and form new plants that are genetically identical to the original Mother of Thousands.
