Bryophyllum daigremontianum ALLIGATOR PLANT (plant)

Alligator plant, Bryophyllum also called Kalanchoe, is a succulent perennial plant from the Crassulaceae family.
It comes from the southwest of Madagascar.
This original Kalanchoe with an upright, fast-growing habit can reach up to 1 meter in height in a few months.
Its bell-shaped flowers are orange during the winter period.
Devil's backbone seeds are tiny, they resemble those of autumn joy.
The alligator plant takes cuttings very well and quickly.
At the end of its leaves, they produce numerous small plants that you can then replant.

It is a plant widely used as a depolluting indoor plant because it requires no maintenance and tolerates the dry atmosphere of homes well.
This plant is atypical because it produces new plantlets directly at the top of its leaves, which gives it a totally exceptional and very original appearance.
In addition, its leaves look like the mouth of an alligator with big teeth, hence its name Alligator Plant.

Alligator plant 7 to 20 cm high, delivered in a plug.
Once received, transplant your alligator plant into a 3 liter pot of potting soil.
Remember to drain the bottom of the pot well with clay balls.

You can also plant your plant directly after receipt in the garden, choose a location in partial shade or full sun but the leaves will tend to redden and its growth will be reduced.

Consider bringing your plant indoors in winter if the climate is harsh, unfortunately it is not hardy at all.
