# I got this plant yesterday for free but I don’t know what it’s…

I got this plant yesterday for free but I don’t know what it’s called. I’m pretty sure it grows little plants on the leaves that can be used to propagate it, that might be a helpful hint

either mother of thousands or millions. i have a small plant like this too and i can’t tell which one mine is either.

On my profile I have a mother of thousands.

Definitely a Mother of Thousands and it grows like crazy in the right environment. If the babies fall into another pot they will grow. Mine grew 6 foot tall and bloomed!
