My plant appears to be a succulent. One main stem with oval leaves that have a pointed end. The edges of the leaves which can get quite large (4" +) look like they have been cut with pinking shears. At the end of each point the plant produces a baby plant which then forms roots. The baby plant may hang on if not disturbed and I have seen these "baby plants" actually grow "grandbaby plants" while still attached to the mother plant. The mother plant can get up to 3 feet tall. They are very hardy but cannot tollerate freezing. Tollerent of high light, low water, grown in my greenhouse on lower shelf.

Any idea???

This is in the succulent group,
u might look up Bryophyllum
sometimes nicknamed
"mother of millions"
my grandmother had one of these plants, and
i have had them for years, but never knew
that they bloomed. Til one year mine was too
large to bring in the door after a summer on
my deck. So, i cut the top off of it, and just
put the top part in a shallow dish . it bloomed
I wish i knew how to put a picture on this
answer, because i have a picture of this bloom.
