Default Pregnant alligator plant?

Your lame analogy is completely incorrect.

A better anology to the "tribbles" would be aphids because they are "born
pregnant"!!

In the case of Bryophyllum daigremontianum, the leaf margins bear plantlets
that eventually fall off. They are not replaced by additional plantlets.
There is no sexual reproduction involved at all.

Toad


Seedlings of which will end up in the pot of every nearby plant. It
is the plant equivalent of the Star Trek tribbles. I got rid of mine
last fall and expect to have to pluck seedlings out of other pots for
many months to come.
