These miniature plants naturally develop roots, detach from the parent plant, and begin growing wherever they land—giving the species its memorable name. Native to southwestern Madagascar, this unusual houseplant may eventually reach approximately 1–3 feet tall and 1–2 feet wide under favorable conditions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKalanchoe daigremontiana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the currently accepted botanical name, while \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBryophyllum daigremontianum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an older synonym.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlanting Season\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest planted or repotted in: Spring \u0026amp; Early Summer (Warm-Season Succulent)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndoor plants may be repotted whenever necessary, but spring is especially suitable because the plant is entering active growth and can recover more quickly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMother of Thousands prefers temperatures around 65–75°F (18–24°C).
