HP>>I used to have a plant called mexican hat plant that would grow little 
plant all around

Are you sure this isn't called a "Mule Ear Kalanchoe"... one of the succulent 
"bryophyllum"?  I know it is often refered to as "Hen & Chicks", as many of 
those in this family are... because they "volunteer" so very easily... from 
leaves (or pieces of same  :)  I believe those that produce tiny little 
plantlets in the notches of the leaf edges (and then fall away, to root into 
the soil) are of this family, and are actually known as Crassula...
cheers,
