Bryophyllum pinnatum
"propeller plant," is a succulent perennial known for its ability to propagate easily from leaf cuttings. This plant features thick, fleshy leaves that are typically bright green, with a distinctive scalloped edge. Flowers are tubular and can range from pink to purple.
To care for Bryophyllum pinnatum, ensure it is planted in well-draining soil and receives plenty of sunlight. Water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. It thrives in warm temperatures and can be grown indoors or outdoors in suitable climates. This hardy plant is also known for its medicinal properties in traditional herbal remedies, often used for its anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
