Hi Helen, noticed your origin line is from the States. Have you left
us temporarily?
Anyway, there are numerous plants that spring to mind, but the most
available (to us) is Mother of Millions (Thousands, if yours is a
piker. :-)). It is a succulent with long narrow leaves, deeply
indented, and babies grow at each indentation. I'm sorry I can't track
down its botanical name.
Another one is a grayish-green succulent shaped like a rosette when
young. As the stem elongates with growth, the rosette remains only at
the top, but each easily detachable leaf, if merely left on the
windowsill, will grow a tiny plantlet. Any that fall into other pots
will root also. At one point, I had 50 or 60 of them in various stages
of "pregnancy" lying on the windowsill. :-)
Again, I haven't found the botanical names for these plants.
