    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to find out the name of a curious plant I have. It has soft spiky leaves that seem to produce many little seedlings that drop off and grow into new plants. It really does spread very quickly and I was curious to find more out about it.

    I have enclosed some pictures but please forgive my dodgy photography.

    If anyone has any ideas that would be great- it's really puzzling me!

    Mike

    Sounds like you've got a Kalanchoe - your images wouldn't open for me. K. daigremontiana is one of the more common houseplants from that genus.

    Kalanchoe daigremontiana. That's the one - brilliant. Thank you!

    Thrilled!
