Nothing to add, just wanted to let you know the correct spelling is: Bryophyllum

I grow B. daigremontianum. Its a beautiful plant, although way too prolific

Someone gave me a leaf recently with some plantlets on it. No idea which species though. Maybe I'll take a photo of it at the weekend to post.
Happy growing,
Neil.

They are neat plants, but they can become rampant weeds in collections: I spend hours weeding them out of my succulent pots.

I grow a pot of them kept well apart from my other plants for the flowers which are produced in the short days of winter. These are very beautiful, but the plant needs uninterupted darkness from sunset until dawn, much the same as Xmas cactus: even brief flashes of light will inhibit their flowering.

Does anybody know what species this is or is it too young to tell? Personally I don't know much about Bryophyllum.
How big do they grow?

Looks like a d.diagremateum (sp.) to me but it`s a little young to tell.
