The Mother of Thousands is a low-maintenance succulent native to Madagascar and grows tiny baby plantlets along the edges of its serrated leaves. 

Succulents tend to require less watering and fertilizing than other houseplants, but they may need additional nutrients from time to time. A good succulent plant food product may contain a variety of organic plant nutrients, trace minerals, natural growth hormones, humic + fulvic acids, and worm castings. Overfeeding your succulent, especially with high levels of nitrogen, can cause leaf and root rot problems.

Use this soil mix for succulents, palms, cactus, citrus, plumeria, and some tropical plants. A good Succulent, Palm and Citrus soil mix is a coarse, well-drained soil that is about one-third sand. It should absorb water quickly and provide excellent drainage. This soil mix should contain ingredients such as recycled forest products, pumice, sand, bark fines, dehydrated poultry manure, and hydrolyzed feather meal.

The Mother of Thousands is a beginner-friendly succulent with interesting leaves.

Some people call these plants invasive pests but I LOVE THEM! I keep my houseplants exclusively in pots indoors so I've never experienced their invasiveness, but I've heard horror stories of them taking over outdoor gardens very quickly. They're beautiful, and full of character! Typical kalanchoe needs, with little tiny babies that fall off with the slightest touch- SO EASY TO PROPAGATE! 😍 Just pop a few pups on top of some dirt and wait for them to develop tiny roots, mist with water to keep slightly moist and watch them grow! Once they establish decent roots and growth maintain with typical kalanchoe care.
