Bryophyllum:

  1. Bryophyllum is a genus of plant species in the Crassulaceae family native to Madagascar.
  2. It is a subdivision or subgenus of the genus Kalanchoe that was previously listed at the genus level.
  3. The ability of the leaves to yield bulbils is remarkable.
  4. Embryogenic buds appear at their margin, between both the teeth, and generate roots, stems, and leaves. Plantlets fall to the earth's roots and grow into larger plants.
  5. Bryophyllum can be replicated vegetatively by using a part of its stem or leaves.
  6. A Bryophyllum plant's leaves have special blooms in their margins that can become separated from the leaves, fall to the ground, and develop to make a new plant.
