Hello!
I have this Mariner's Kalanchoe, and I was surprised to see that the leaves are producing by themselves while already on the plant!
Is this how they normally propagate?





And while I was examining them, this tiny bud just came off -




If I want them to develop into full grown individual plants, how should I proceed?
Will merely getting a tiny planter and placing them on top of the soil do?
Any special care?

in advance!

the plant is often classified under the genus bryophyllum. Very similar to the original kalanchoe, most of them have the ability to produce plantlets via their leaves(kalanchoe tends not to do this unless in special conditions), with the purpose of asexual reproduction/
I have propagated other memebers of that genus using that method. Most successful ones are those plantlets that already have let out roots

Yes, that's exactly how they do it (propagate). I suspect this form of reproducing, at least for Kalanchoe (and Prickly Pears), is a lot more common than growing from seed.

Just drop the plantlets on some soil and watch them go. Maybe make sure they land face up.

Yes, I remember having studied about Bryophyllum in Biology back in school :D
Thank you so much for the information!

Too many of them! I'm super excited . Will get a mini planter & lay them on top of some succulent mix media! Thank you Daisy!
