saw this plant in a plantopedia book i have. and was amazed! this type of succulant has big leaves and then little baby plants come out the edges of every leaf. its also called a mexican hat dance. anyway, i bought 5 babies from each of 3 different types this lady on ebay had. I posted many pics in my journal showing how i put them in soil. but they are soooo tiny, they will probably take FOREVER to have babies of their own.

lol...I had one of these once, was a cool plant, but a pain in the neck if you keep your plants in groups. The silly little babies fall into, and grow, in everything!!!!
Have Fun,

Is it the same plant called "Mother of Thousands" ????
I just went out and took a photo of this plant (or in the same family) growing in a vacant lot across the street from me. I have had it in pots before ... my neighbor grows it and gave me a cutting. I got rid of all I had, because like threegardeners says .... it can be a pain in the neck! It will spread like crazy and drop little babies that take root wherever they land! It is unusual and pretty, though! And .... Stephanie ..... I think they will probably grow pretty fast!
very cool plant lady. i wonder if mine will flower.
i didn't see any iimages on the internet with flowers on the type i have.
I luv the flowers on it.

yes plant lady lyn, aka mother of thousands, also aka mexican hat, stephanie
I have one type of these. They are only a few inches tall in a three inch pot but already showing babies.
I have one big one inside for the winter; sure would be cool if it flowered this summer for me.
