Kalanchoe tubiflora
I have (or perhaps had, looking at my windowsill) a plant supposed to
be a Kalanchoe tubiflora (appears to be in the same family or related
to the "pregnant alligator plant"). It's a very skinny succulent-type
that has tiny 'baby' plants which drop from the leaf tips. However,
when I look up "Kalanchoe tubiflora", I see many different images. The
reason this may be an ex-plant (horribly neglected) is that it just
put out one thin stem that got taller and taller, and dropped babies
that did the same thing. No flowers; no attractive presentation; no
joy. Of course, the wingtip plants are fun, but after a few years they
cease to amuse.
Having seen some images with "flowers," a la some succulent displays,
I wonder if I've been mistreating it from day one. It's watered with
the same frequency as a very vigorous aloe in a west-facing
windowsill. Any advice?
