So Succulent! But What Family?

[injunjoe]

I have looked for one like this online and can't find anything.

The tag reads; "bright light"
" succulents"
Nice tagging at the Big Box stores! They don't care what it is, they just want to sell it.

I love the red color in the large leaves.
Experimenting with a few leaf cuttings already.

It is in the wrong soil to promote shoots.
I will put it in a clay pot. That alone will help it set shoots!

Any help?

OMG, I can't believe I found it! It is a Kalanchoe thyrsiflora - I think....lol

its Flapjacks. roots easily like other succulents. let the the leaf callous for a little while and then place on some soil. will have little offshots on its "trunk". mine dont like frost.

Thanks Beef

Do you try the wounded leaf method?

Were you cut just a little into the edge of the leaf every so often around it? Each cut that stays in place on clean sand will set root and a baby. Under the right conditions of course.

no i usually try the "salvage whatever the chickens leave behind" method.

I also have studied this method!
Some chicken wranglers these dogs are!
They are good with the chickens but bark there fool head off at any other thing any were near! Doing a great job!

i had a mockingbird eating my hens and chicks (succulent) but i think the cats had the last laff. chickens have moved on to the gerbera daisies.

I used to have all them, the Hens and Chicks, the living rocks.
This was a few wives ago, yes houses went with!
