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. 

Final Thoughts

reverse harem with heart and a HEA
Format: Kindle
Author duo Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole delivered a well written reverse harem romance read in Billionaire's Nanny. Our female lead Tessa starts as a server at an event and meets a sweet lil girl Tabitha. Damian is Tabitha's father and after the event all he hears about it Tessa and so, in his billionaire style shows up unannounced to offer Tessa a job as Tabitha's nanny that she can't refuse. Damian may be the beginning but there is also Theo, head of security and Nico, chauffeur and chef. These three go everywhere together. I love how our authors introduce us to the art world, exotic places traveled. They weave together the heat and sweet so well and I love that there is a storyline with mystery, heart just as much as the heat the characters bring. A wonderful HEA is to be had as well! A really good read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

So many plot twists and turns!
Format: Kindle
In Billionaire's Nanny, Tessa is a catering waitress. While working an event, she encounters Tabitha, a precocious 6 year old who is bored and seeking her own form of entertainment when left to entertain herself at her father's event. Taking the child under her wings and keeping her out of trouble, little does Tessa know that with that simple act, the trajectory of her life will forever be altered. Damian is Tabitha's father. He's wildly successful in the art world and a billionaire. Theo is his body guard and head of security, while Nico is his chauffeur (of any form of transportation that moves) and personal chef. The three travel everywhere together. Damian is out to right the wrongs of the previous generations of his family. He wants his daughter to be proud of her legacy and he will do anything to ensure that she has this opportunity, even if it requires lying, stealing and riding the fine line between what is morally and legally right and wrong. In order to do this, he desperately needs the help of someone he trusts to watch over his daughter. Tabitha won't stop talking about Tessa and the time they spent together at the event. Without notice, Damian shows up on Tessa's doorstep and orders her to join them as Tabitha's nanny. Needing the money to help care for her siblings, Tessa agrees. What ensues is a quest for Tessa to learn who to trust. There is an air of mystery continually surrounding the three men that leaves Tessa feeling uneasy. Secretive meetings and phone calls. Continually jet setting from country to country. Locked vaults and rooms depicted on doll houses as nothing more than empty spaces. Who are these men? Are they good guys or bad? Tessa struggles with her growing feelings as she finds herself equally attracted to them all. As each man spends more time with Tessa and finds himself intrigued by her, each wants her for himself. These are three alpha males all vying for pole position in Tessa's heart. Little do they know, Tessa isn't interested in having only one in pole position. For her, it's all or nothing. Will they be able to give up ultimate control and learn to share? Authors Sasha Moon and Cassie Cole have done it again! This is an extremely well developed novel. Normally I am quick to determine the plot and the direction it's taking. If there's a mystery in a plot, I've usually solved it by 25% of the way into the book. The plot of this book was hard to guess, which is actually what makes this book so fantastic! I love the twists and the turns; the hint at explanations without actually not explaining much of anything at all. LOL It kept me engrossed and wanting to know what the heck was going on. The authors did a fabulous job of slowly dispersing tidbits of plot weaving intrigue and mystery throughout the entire length of the book. This book kept me focused the entire time I was reading it. I love that Tessa is a strong female lead. She isn't afraid to back down or ask questions when things don't make sense. She also has a soft side that just wants to be loved and to feel affection. She is like a mollusk, hard on the outside yet soft on the inside and in her heart. As much as she would like to trust, she has learned that you cannot blindly trust. So she asked questions. She watches. She tries to determine if her employer Damian is truly an individual that is upstanding and one whom she can trust with her life and her heart. The three men in the story are harder for the reader to get to know, especially Damian's character. The author slowly feeds you information with regards to their personalities, but even with the air of mystery surrounding them, there's something likeable about each of them. I couldn't help rooting for them all to get their HEA. This book is an absolute definite must read!

Not your average Billionaire's Nanny
Format: Kindle
A unique twist on a Billionaires Nanny plot. I was immediately drawn into the story and it kept me guessing on how it would unfold. The chemistry between Tessa, Damien, Theo and Nico was HOT. The spicy scenes were intense and everything you would expect from a Cassie Cole book. I had a difficult time connecting with Tessa. Some of her actions and unexplained entitlement to know everything going on around her seemed off to me but Theo was my absolute favorite.

Fun, Steamy, and Just Enough Depth
Format: Kindle
I liked this book — it was cute, short, and exactly what I expected from a quick Omegaverse read. While it doesn’t dive too deeply into character development, there was enough personality and backstory sprinkled in to keep the relationships believable and engaging, especially given the length. What I really appreciated was that the focus stayed on the main characters and their connection. The heat, the banter, and the romance were front and center without getting bogged down in unnecessary drama. It made for an easy, enjoyable read that flowed smoothly from start to finish. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. There was a teaser blurb at the end, but it isn’t up on Amazon yet — hopefully it’ll be posted soon so I can add it to my wish list.
