Succulant

hey Louis
i think this is a
Kalanchoe diagremontiana
i call it the mexican hat plant. but it has many names.
;-))

It looks like a type of Howorthia lika a tortoosa or its also a bit like Argaves and Gasteria. The british cactus and succulant society should be more clued up. Its 30 years since I grew them.

do little plants grow around the edge? maybe on the one you took a cutting from. many succulents look the similar to each other.

Thank you Sandra and Drc726. It's not like an Argave, as it has no spikes, and they are softer leaves as well.
So what's with the Mexican hat Sandra LOL!!!
Thank you once again ladies, you're most kind :-)

Yes sandra I think you have it I know It as mother of thousands funny markings on the underside and tiny buds on the leaf edge.

it looks like Byriophilum [not sure on spelling] if it is you will get plantlets growing in the edges of the leaf margins. they are fantastic plants. keep it on the dry side as they are from the mexican deserts. common name mexican hat plant.

thank you ladies.... Yes, it has plantlets on the edge of the leaf, and if I touch it, they fall off as they are just hanging on the edge of the leaf. I will try and take a close-up picture of a leaf to show the little plantlets....... This is such a wonderful site, as we tend to help each other out in times like this .......... Thank You Ladies :-)

in that case its most likely byriophilum. schools use them as a teaching tool for asexual reproduction.

Hmmmmmmm interesting........

why the hmmmmmmmm? all the baby plants are genetically identical too. they grow bst in a sandy soil/compost. hey do flower too, a tall cluster of 'bell' like orange/yellow flowers.

Hence one of its names being mother of thousands!

Thank you ladies.....This plant is more interesting than I thought. I wonder how long, do I have to wait for it to flower? I think I bring it to the kitchen window for the winter.

I must say, that some of the plantlets have fallen onto the soil and looking quite healthy..... :-)
