Description: Kalanchoe pinnata (Bryophyllum pinnatum) is a succulent plant distinctive for the profusion of miniature plantlets that form on the margins of its leaves even when the leaves has been detached from the plant, a trait it has in common with the other members of the Bryophyllum section of the Kalanchoe genus. It's not difficult to see why some call this plant “Life Plant” or "Miracle Leaf" because of the small plantlets growing from the fringes of the leaves. The plantlets drop off and root, forming many new plants in a single location. Because of this rapid growth in many areas.
