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.

Good plot but definitely slow burn
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a ton of spice scenes for an Omegaverse) The plot, character development, scene progression, and action throughout the story was done really well. I did wish there was better pacing for the spice. I felt like the big spice was really rushed. During some scenes the story was a little hard to follow. I think some parts could’ve been cut. Overall I would read more from this author! 💖

But honestly it was easy to get over it falling in love with all these little psychos 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely loved Kodi’s obsession with getting Easton even though he doesn’t know him but smells brownies everywhere and missing the mark it was hysterical.

Omegaverse with rival families.
Format: Kindle
Tatum is trying to raise enough money to treat her omega mother who has fallen catatonic due to the death of her mate. To make the money she needs she agrees to work at a gentleman's club scantily dressed. There she meets the twin Hayes brothers, Declan and Kodiak, what she doesn't know is that their younger half brother is the high school sweetheart that ghosted her after helping with her first heat. Tatum also meets Easton, the mysterious male omega that pops into her life but she finds herself strongly attracted to. I enjoyed all the characters, even those that were not major characters, the plot was good, the storyline was well done. I would recommend this book if you liked Omegaverse stories, mafia storylines, and good romance with why choose.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
Who doesn’t love morally grey men obsessed with their omega who isn’t afraid to call them out on their unacceptable behavior and make them grovel? Tatum really is a survivor through and through. She is willing to do anything to get her mother the help she needs, even deal with the man her broke her heart. If you love brothers playing jokes, crazy stabby omegas and rich men being told no, you will enjoy this book. Great spice and great ending.

Omega survival mode
Format: Kindle
Tatum is an Omega who has been suppressing herself since she had a heartbreaking fallout after her first heat. The boy she loved ghosted her after it was over.  Tatum lost her father when she was just 8 and her mother struggled to survive until Tatum got to be an adult and was unable to keep pushing. So now Tatum is being the parent and she needs a better paying job so she can afford to put her mother in a care facility until she is better. When she finds a job posting for Haze Instincts she knows they take care of their Omega staff and if she is a dancer or maybe something more she will be able to catch up on bills and get her mom taken care of.  As she is exposed to a few different irresistible Alphas she is forced to remember who she is and face everything she has been running from. Will she be able to accept all of her Omega nature, get her mother the care she needs, form a pack and let go of the past? This book was sad and sweet too. Tatum has been through so much and she doesn't know how everything fits together. As the pieces fit into the puzzle she has to choose a future even if it is scary.  I love the ladies she works with at the club. Their personalities are so fun. Also, I love a groveling Alpha. Though Mr. Brownies was a fun twist. I love that the story was comprehensive and filled in all of the missing pieces in a way that was engaging and made sense.  That epilogue was so freaking sweet and an absolutely perfect ending.
