Mother of Thousands / Mother of Millions (likely Kalanchoe daigremontiana or a hybrid)
Kalanchoe daigremontiana (most probable, though hybrids like Kalanchoe x houghtonii are common)
This plant has thick, fleshy, ovate to oblong-lanceolate leaves with a characteristic scalloped or toothed margin, often showing a purplish tint on the stems and leaf undersides, particularly when exposed to strong light. Small plantlets (bulbils) are typically produced along the leaf margins, which readily drop off and root, leading to its common names.

Kalanchoe daigremontiana is a resilient succulent that thrives in bright, indirect light to full sun. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, as it is highly susceptible to root rot in overwatered conditions. It is drought-tolerant and can survive with minimal fertilization. Protect it from frost, as it is not cold-hardy. This plant is known for its prolific self-propagation, so be mindful of its invasive potential in warm climates.
