Description: You will receive 10+ Mother of Thousands Kalanchoe Succulent Mexican Hat Plant babies/pups. FREE SHIPPING! As a popular house plant, kalanchoe daigremontiana is fairly easy to take care of. Here’s everything you should know about its care and maintenance. Light & TemperatureYou’ll find that your mother of thousands plant prefers a minimum of 6 hours of light per day, although in hot climates indirect sunlight is best. Its distinctive leaves are subject to sunburn if they’re in intense sunlight. These can be grown in west or north-facing windows to provide enough bright light, or you can supplement with a grow light.Mexican hat plant grows best in temperatures ranging between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. While it can tolerate temperatures down into the 40’s, it’s best to bring these indoors when the weather gets cold.Zones 9-11 are best for people growing these outdoors. Indoors, of course, they can be grown anywhere!Water & HumidityExtremely drought-tolerant, this succulent comes from an area that is often quite arid. It can survive periods of no water at all, but does perform best if it has at least a little moisture.PropagationAll you need to propagate this unique plant are its plantlets (pups). Seed is not a viable method, and while cuttings are possible, the plantlets are far easier!Avoid watering the leaves of the plant and focus on the soil. If the soil is dry to at least 2” below the surface, dampen it with room-temperature water and wait for a few minutes, then re-water once more. This enables the planting medium to rehydrate gradually. Be sure any excess moisture drains off readily.These plants require the most water during their active growing season in spring and summer. During the fall and winter, you can reduce the watering frequency.Growing ProblemsMother of thousands is particularly susceptible to overwatering. It can go limp if there’s too much moisture. Keep your plant’s leaves firm by only watering when the soil has dried out to 2” below its surface.The only problem people report is that they have too many of these little plants, because they do self-sow their plantlets with ease. Keep excess dropped plantlets picked up to prevent its spread. If it’s planted outdoors, you’ll have to stay on top of this or it can grow invasively if the climate’s to its liking! Indoors, you can grow these with very few issues, but may have to pick up baby plants as they drop off.
