Re: INDOOR-GARDENING digest 584

Hi Dee. The most popular plant I know of that fits your description would be
Kalanchoe. They also go under the name of Bryophyllum in some books. There is
Kalanchoe tubiflora and the one you have might be Kalanchoe daigremontianum. There
might be other plants who produce plantlets at the tip of their leaves, but I do
not know of them. If anyone on this list does, I'd really like to know because,
for some strange reason, I've been asked about this type of plant a lot these days
and I'm a little curious about it.
