Name That Plant!

Interesting Succulent!

9 years ago

Hello,
I have a very interesting plant that seems to be some type of succulent.
It is white/green/purplish pink with a pattern on its 'arms'.
It has bits budding out of the 'arms', which remind me a bit of the roots that come out of ivy to connect it to trees and things. Also it has been excreting small drops of sticky sap, which you can hopefully just make out in the photo.
Hope someone has an idea, as I'd love to know his name!
Cheers :)

Kalanchoe tubiflora at a guess. Never actually seen one.

K. tubiflora is one of the kalanchoes which grow plantlets on their leaves (your "arms"). In this case, the plantlets only appear on the ends of the leaves. Each plantlet can grow into a full-sized plant with plantlets on its leaves; this is its attempt to take over the world.

So if you live in a part of Australia where winters remain above freezing, be sure not to let it escape into the wild. (Some kalanchoes are already a problem there.)

Some say K. tubiflora is a synonym for K. delagoensis. Others call it Bryophyllum tubiflora.
