One day, I saw this flower on the windowsill at a children's clinic:
But it was huge and already old. I couldn't resist tearing off a couple of petals. I planted it like a succulent—first, I put the petals in water (pulled them off along with the stem), and when roots appeared, I planted them in general-purpose potting soil. For a long time, I couldn't figure out what kind of houseplant it was. On the one hand, it resembles a money plant (other names include crassula and fat plant), but the leaves don't seem particularly fleshy.
But I continued to care for it as if it were a money tree. Eventually, I got two flowers. Then a friend who knows a lot about flowers came to me and confirmed that it was indeed a crassula. It's strange, the flowers seem similar, but they're still different. However, the exact variety of the money tree remains unknown.
Yes, for a money tree, it's a very unusual look... but for a Kalanchoe, it's perfect. ))) That's a Kalanchoe (like Kalanchoe blossfeldiana). It's a succulent, in the Crassulaceae family. You were right about that.
Thanks so much for the information! I'm not very knowledgeable about many indoor plants.
Alina, this is not a money tree. It's a Kalanchoe.
Here is the money tree.
