Friend gave me this when it was only 3" tall. Did not expect this growth. Someoe said its called "mother of thousands" but dont know its real name. Any elp would be gratfull.
It seems to self propogate as it has 14 small seedlings growing round the bowl.

Hi Meanie,
thanks for the name, had a look and found sub species, (delagoensis). Found mainly in hot climates, described as a weed in Calafornia by most of the people on the forum. It do`s have a nice flower, but when that is happens is anyone`s quess. It has grown another 5" since I posted and now the little plantlets are starting to grow on the plant as well as dropping off and rooting.
Will post a couple of new pics.

well its the right shape for "mother of thousands" but I thought they had succulent type leaves? Interesting though.
