On The Hunt For...

Hi Everyone,

Years ago I came home from school with a cutting, which grew quite fast. My mother called it "The Ugly Plant", as she hated it. After a few years she put it in the bin, as she couldn't stand it when she tided my bedroom. Ever since I've kept my eye out when being out for another one, and I just thought, ask you guys if you have got one and maybe you could supply a few seeds to me.

I think the plant was a succulent, I'm going off what I can remember, it had one main stem with branches leading from it, the leaves were like a money plant but around each leaf had little leaves which were actually the seeds. This is all I can remember.

If anyone know what I'm on about, knows the name of it, has one or anything, I'd be pleased with any info.

 

Hiya @clum111 hmmm the only one i thought of was Christmas cactus .....sorry cant think of anything else but maybe this link might help http://www.bcss.org.uk/pom032015.php They have lots of pictures on there so you might recognise it

 

Hi @BeeHappy Thanks, I don't think it's a cactus, as I've been on that website and other cactus websites and books, but nothing;(

 

Was it Kalanchoe Diagremontiana?
Around the edges are tiny leaves (not seeds) with aerial roots which root immediately they the touch soil.

 

Could it be "Mother of Millions"?

 

Oops I see @Strongylodon has already got there before me (and with it's "proper" name - Mr Smarty Pants! )

 

Aye, I think you've got it Thanks for giving me the name, never knew what it was called.
