Hi
I found this plant growing outside on the balcony after clearing away dead
pansies. I noticed it had plantlets along the edge of the leaves, ready to
fall off and propagate.
Thanks for any feedback.
Paul

I think it may be Mexican Hat Plant. Sorry, I don't know the scientific
name, but someone here probably will.

Kalanchoe section Bryophyllum. The most commonly grown species is
Kalanchoe daigremontiana. (There was an article on these plants in one
of the RHS journals recently.)


Thanks to you both for the ID. The question is - how did it get into my
box on the balcony 3 floors up in North London?

Second question - will it be happy indoors as a house plant? I expect it
would, coming from a warm climate.
