    I'm new to the forums, and I've already got a question.

    I have a houseplant that has grey-green leaves, and each of the leaves has jagged edges on it. There are little tiny baby plants growing from each dip down, and periodically the babies fall off, into the soil, and start to grow. The plant is about four months old, and when I got it off of another 'mother' plant, it was about 1/2 of an inch tall. I don't have any idea what it is. Help please? I'll try and get a picture of it up as soon as possible. The plant is about six inches high and six inches wide. Thank you!

    May be Kalanchoe daigremontiana (syn. Bryophyllum daigremontianum), Devil's Backbone or Mexican Hat Plant.

    Thank you so much! I think it is a bryophyllum, but I'm not quite sure which. I greatly appreciate your help. It does look a lot like the plant in the picture.
