Introducing the Mother of Millions, known as Kalanchoe delagoensis, which is one of the most popular succulent plants. It also goes by the names Chandelier Plant, Devil's Backbone, Alligator Plant, Kalanchoe tubiflora, and Mexican Hat Plant. This plant is frequently mistaken for the Kalanchoe laetivirens "Mother of Thousands," a related millions plant with bigger and broader leaves. 

The Mother of Millions plant gets its name from its unique ability to produce numerous babies along its leaf edges. These babies, also known as bulbils, have a root and resemble miniature versions of the parent plant. When they fall to the ground, they can take root and grow into new plants, hence the name "Mother of Millions." It's a perfect name that captures the plant's remarkable reproductive strategy. 


Native to Madagascar, it has gained popularity as a houseplant due to its unique characteristics.

This chandelier plant showcases a thick erect stem that can grow up to 5 feet tall, and fleshy leaves that grow in clusters, forming an attractive rosette shape. The leaves are primarily green, adorned with intriguing reddish-brown spots. 

When it comes to flowers, the Mother of Millions plant produces clusters of small, tubular blooms.

These flowers can vary in color, ranging from shades of pink, red, or orange. When the plant blooms, it creates a beautiful display of colorful flowers that add a vibrant touch to its overall appearance. The flowers are typically held above the foliage on tall stalks, creating an eye-catching sight. 

The Kalanchoe delagonsis can be propagated easily by removing the plantlets that grow along the edges of their leaves and planting them in well-draining soil. These plantlets will quickly take root and establish themselves as new plants, making propagation a simple and effective way to expand your collection of Mother of Millions.

With proper care and attention, the Kalanchoe delagoensis can be a stunning addition to any succulent plant collection. The distinctive appearance and fascinating reproductive process of this mother plant make it an intriguing and captivating plant to nurture and enjoy.

Mother of millions is an invasive species because of its ability to reproduce rapidly and outcompete native plants for resources. These species' ability to reproduce vegetatively, drought tolerance, and popularity as garden or potted plants have led to their invasive weed or invasive species in eastern Australia, South Africa, and many Pacific islands.

When and How to Water Mother of Millions Plant

When it comes to watering the Mother of Millions of plants, it's important to strike the right balance. This succulent plant prefers a watering routine that allows the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can be detrimental to the Kalanchoe plant's health, as it can lead to root rot. It's recommended to water the Mother of Millions thoroughly, allowing the water to soak through the soil, and then wait until the top inch or so of the soil is dry before watering again. This allows your Devil's backbone plant to receive the moisture it needs while preventing excess water retention. 

It's worth noting that the watering frequency may vary depending on factors such as the climate, temperature, and humidity levels.

In the spring, during the growing season, the Mother of Millions may require more frequent watering. However, during the dormant period in summer, it's important to reduce watering and allow the plant to rest. 

Remember to always observe the moisture levels of the soil and adjust your watering schedule accordingly to ensure the optimal health of your Mother of Millions plant. 

Light Requirements - Where to Put Mother of Millions

If growing indoors, the Mother of Millions plant thrives in bright, indirect light conditions. It enjoys soaking up the sun's rays, but direct sun can be too intense and may cause the leaves to burn or become discolored. Placing the plant near a window where it can receive bright, filtered light is ideal. 

For outdoor cultivation, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is best to place them in a location where they can receive at least six hours of sunlight daily to ensure healthy growth. Avoid placing them in prolonged sunlight for extended periods as this can cause sunburn on the leaves.

Pro Tip

  1. If you notice that your chandelier plant leaves are stretching or leaning toward the light source, it's a sign that the Mother of Millions plant may need more light, or it may be getting too little light.
  2. On the other hand, if the mother of Million leaves starts turning yellow or brown, it could indicate that the plant is receiving too much direct sunlight.

Finding the right balance of light will help your Kalanchoe delagoensis Mother of Millions plant grow healthy and vibrant. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Mother of Millions plant prefers well-drained soil that allows excess water to flow out easily. Moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time flat. But fear not, my fellow green thumbs!

Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized succulent potting mix that includes 5 natural substrates with organic mycorrhizae perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy Kalanchoe delagoensis. Avoid using heavy or compacted soil that can lead to waterlogged roots. 

When it comes to fertilizing the Mother of Millions plant, a balanced fertilizer formulated for succulents can be used. During the spring growing season, you can fertilize them once a year. However, it's important to dilute the fertilizer to half or a quarter strength of NPK (5-10-5) to prevent overfeeding, as succulents have lower nutrient requirements compared to other plants.  

During the dormant period in fall and winter, it's best to refrain from fertilizing altogether. Remember to always follow the instructions and adjust the frequency and strength of fertilization based on the specific needs of your Mother of Millions plant. 

Hardiness Zone & More

When growing indoors, it thrives best in temperatures between 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to avoid exposing this plant to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as it can lead to damage or even death.

For outdoor cultivation, the Mother of Millions plant is generally hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The Mother of Millions plant is adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. It can withstand both dry conditions and moderate humidity. However, it's important to avoid excessive humidity, as it can increase the risk of fungal diseases. Providing good air circulation around the plant can help prevent moisture buildup and maintain a healthy environment for the Mother of Millions. 

Remember to consider your specific climate and conditions when it comes to Kalanchoe delagoensis care, and make adjustments accordingly to your climate to ensure its optimal growth and well-being.

Love this book!
Format: Paperback
This is my first time reading a book from this author, and it’s safe to say, I will be reading again! I love the chaos of the twitter war while they are simultaneously falling in love with eachother! This is a fluffy, kicking-your-feet while reading book. This is definitely a slow burn though, I had a little trouble getting into it, but had me hooked a few chapters in! If you are looking for the cutest YA- book, this is it

Very Cute & Fast Read
Format: Hardcover
This was very cute and I read it in almost one sitting. It isn’t a new favorite, but I would read it again and plan on reading Emma Lord’s next book. Pepper and Jack were both great characters. They were well-developed and likable, but flawed. And I definitely connected with Pepper. This took me back to the stress of high school. They both had complexity and felt like real teenagers. Honestly, before I read this, I was very unsure of the reality of two teens running a company Twitter accounts. But Ms. Lord did a good job making me believe how this happened. And I think it is important to remember there are real human beings behind the handle. Beyond the tweets, there were a lot of textual conversations. That is one of my favorite things to read in a book. And these were incredibly adorable. They made me smile and were some of my favorite parts to read. The romance was cute and well-developed. I liked that Pepper and Jack really were becoming friends before becoming a couple. And I thought the conflicts/issues would go a certain way, but they didn’t. I liked being kept on my toes. It also felt organic and like a healthy relationship. There were other relationships, too. Some were more developed than others, but I appreciate the layers. The changing relationship between Pepper and Pooja was beautiful. We stan solid female friendships in this house. Speaking of little things: the LGBT+ rep. I loved it! Yes, it’s side characters, but that’s fine. I loved how much of a non-issue it was. Yes, there are still bigots in the world, but I’m team be the change you wish to see in the world. So, I like a book where characters are just living their lives and no one (adult or teen) cares. That’s the world I want to live in. Ok, this review has gone on longer than I expected. Tweet Cute was such a fun and (fairly) light read. Ms. Lord addressed some serious issues teens face, but it never felt too dramatic. My already anxious mind really appreciated that tone choice. And I’m definitely excited to read another Emma Lord book.

Review - Tweet Cute
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
**Disclaimer: I was given a free e-ARC of the below in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley** Title Tweet Cute Author Emma Lord Release Date January 21, 2020 Description from Amazon Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming ― mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account. Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time. All’s fair in love and cheese ― that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life ― on an anonymous chat app Jack built. As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate ― people on the internet are shipping them?? ― their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected. Initial Thoughts Ok, can I just take a minute to talk about the fact that I’m reviewing a book that’s coming out in 2020?!? Seriously, where did the year go? It feels like just yesterday I didn’t even know what an ARC was, and now, I’m reviewing books for 2020! Anyway, I was chosen for a Blog Tour of this book in January but I couldn’t resist reading it early and writing this review. Some Things I Liked Gossip Girl vibes. I. Love. Gossip Girl. This book had all the best parts of that story without any of the needless bitchy-ness. I loved that. And, it was self-referencing (in a way). The story cited its parallels to the hit show and I just loved that. Additionally, I loved all of the references to various bits of pop culture. Alternating POV. This was perfectly done. Since our main characters are both harboring secrets that the other doesn’t know, the POVs made this story so much more fun to follow. Grilled Cheese. Buddy the Elf’s food groups are candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. Mine are grilled cheese, mac and cheese, donuts, and peanut butter cups. This whole story revolved around one of the most epic foods in existence. I also really enjoyed the multi-generational element in both of these rivaling restaurants. Favorite Quote “Full-time vice principal and part-time thief of joy.” “Thief of joy” is one of my favorite things that Michael calls Dwight on The Office. When I saw it used here, I literally laughed out loud. Final Thoughts This book was adorable. I loved every page. I applied for it kind of on a whim since I really don’t read many contemporary novels but this really caught my eye. I’m so excited to be participating in the blog tour in a few months. In the meantime, ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR, like ASAP (or as Michael Scott would say, ASA P as possible 😉). ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommendations for Further Reading Flawed by Becky Bird – if you like cute, contemporary romance stories, definitely give this new release by Becky Bird a try. Cupid’s Match by Lauren Palphreyman – this book isn’t out yet but if you enjoyed the setting and characters in Tweet Cute, definitely give this new release a try.
