This has tripled in size over the past 2-3 months...but I don't know the name of it.
Anybody?

Is it just me or are the leaves fuzzy like AV's?

Sue it's Bryophyllum gastonis-bonnieri. It will produce babies at the leaf tip. They get quite large and can eventually bloom.

Tin, the leaves are a little fuzzy and the dots don't appear right away :)

Todd, thanks for the info. This was given to me as a "plantlet" and it is really starting to take off! The person that gave it to me had his in bloom at the time :)

Thats great !!! Now I know the name of my little guy. It's a great plant . I Had a hard time getting mine to take off and go in growth so I re potted him in a wider container and use potting soil (miracle grow) and perilite, and moss AND the secrete is Bone Meal, And mix it in with the soil and boy he toke off like everything. Now he's dropping babies every were. I started with a single cutting and now I problem have over a hundred off offspring. ( that was 3 months ago started) Good luck .

This looks interesting, does anyone have photo's of the blooms??

I realize I gave Tin the wrong answer in one of the above posts :blushing: :

It's not fuzzy at all! When the leaves first start, there are no dots and just a light grayish coating...then as they mature, the coating goes away, the dots arrive and the leaves are kind of waxy :)
