# Hi everyone! I have this mother of millions / chandelier plant…

_Posted by Dez on 2026-04-18_

Hi everyone! I have this mother of millions / chandelier plant (Kalanchoe delagoensis) that seems to be dropping a lot of leaves lately. Many of the remaining leaves are rather thin and dark rather than bright green and fleshy.

Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I’m thinking maybe not enough water?? My other succulents in this window are doing quite well, but maybe the issue is light?

Thanks in advance! 💚

Not enough light. How much direct sun does that window get?

Phil would you like some!?!

My window is north-east facing, so the plant mostly gets bright indirect light, but there is some direct sun in the early morning. Unfortunately I can’t move it to a “better” window; I live in an apartment that only has NE-facing windows!

I’m not sure but I can tell you they are extremely everything resilient plants!! I have never planted or purchased one however they got in my yard somehow and they have literally taken over my yard really bad!! I’m in Fl so they have bounced back from the cold snap this winter, drought and extreme rain and they just continue growing and multiplying!!

Well that is reassuring!! Thank you for the info!

Have you thought of trying a grow light?
