I am so excited my has not bloomed ever and I have had it for five years! This morning I went outside and it is full of little pink flowers that look like birds ! I got the cutting from my mama she has had that plant as long as I remember she is 95 years old!
Wonderful! That’s just wonderful! Cheers! 😀 🪴
I have a 5 yr old devils backbone plant that have suvived 3 hurricanes and one tornado!!
They're so strong.
Thanks for the info on the recommended soil. I was gifted one from my father in law when his mom passed away. He knows my love for houseplants!
I have not seen this plant before, it’s quite interesting. I like the leaves and the stems, it’s pretty cool. I’ll be on the hunt for one on my next nursery outing. 🤓👍🏻
It's so wild looking with the zig zag stems. i just love it. Thanks for the the comment!😀🪴
Thank you so much for this information. My aunt clipped pieces from my grandmother's plant and she did not know how to take care of it. I re-rooted the pieces and now the plant is growing great. 3 of my grandmother's daughters are asking me to clip a piece and start a plant for them. That's why I am here. It is a part of their mother and they want it as a memory of her because she loved this plant. Thanks again.
You are so welcome! And thank you for sharing such a great story. 😀🪴
wow, yours is so pretty! I have two and they are both outside but mine are not as full as yours is.
Oh thank you Marta.😀🪴
My zig zags are both a bit different from each other one is more a forest dark green and the other one is like yours but has some pinkish tones to it as well.
Hi Marta! Im glad you have the zig zags! The pink tones are super cool right?😀 🪴
Hopefully I will be planting my clusia tomorrow, well someone will be planting it for me. In the meantime I will have to prune my zig zag and replant it so it gets fuller.
I have a variant that has no white edging, solid green! She is so beautiful.
Oh cool! They are so pretty and unique right? 😀🪴
Very cool and easily propagated plant, definitely on my top ten beginner house plants! @@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN
What a beautiful plant!!! I'm somewhat experienced with plants, but this gal just does not want to grow for me. Does it prefer to be root bound?
Hi! She can be root bound a bit, but she also readily propagates using small cuttings in a new larger pot and grows well. I wonder why she isn't growing for you. Is she getting enough light? Can you tell me more? 😀🪴
Your I care instructions were good, but no mention of fertilizer or plant food. My Devils Backbone is HUGE. It is outside in an 28 inch pot in Central Florida. I’ve had it about 8 years. It has no leaves. Nice healthy green stems. Mostly filtered light from trees. Please advise.
Hi there, it could be that your Devils backbone needs new potting soil. Try repotting and she should give you new leaves. On fertilizer, a well balanced organic like Dr Earth's all purpose 2-2-2 would help. You can also try 16 -4 8 ( @ half strength) to help encourage new leaves.😀🪴
I am in Florida, and my plant is outside. My new grow though has pinkish leaves
Nice ! Thats so awesome to have pink hues to your leaves!.😀🪴
If I try water propagating, should I let the stem callous over first or just directly put in water?
Hi! If you want to propagate in soil let the end harden for a few days . But if you want to propagate in water cut and place in water same day and Replant once roots grow
1- 2” long. Hope this helps ! 😀🪴
Does this plant branch off where it is cut from? I have 1 stalk and I'm wondering if I should cut it to make it branch out.
Hi! Yes, she will branch out from where you cut her. But she will also branch out over time over time branch out on her own even if you don't make a cut.😀🪴
Thank you so much for this video! Should I water the cutting (the one trying to propagate) also every 14 days o it needs a bit more water?
yes, that would be fine. And I hope your baby zig zag takes off!😀🪴
Is this plant perennial or annual can you leave it out over the winter and will it come back?
Hi! She is a perennial. And you can grow outdoors in south Florida 😀🪴
👽💚🌱
Wherever you cut one branch, is that going to make two branches come off of it?
Yes! Most times 2 branches, but sometimes less, sometimes more.😀🪴
Can you help me, my devils backbone plant was given to me and I did a diagnostic test and it said that my plant was damaged but it didn’t tell me damage from what or how to take care of it. I have noticed that I am losing leaves they’re yellow and they just drop off. I do have it sitting in a window and they try to water it every seven days or so I water it from the bottom so I don’t know if that’s doing wrong or what can you help me please
Hi there, check the first two inches of soil for moisture content. If it feels dry, then she may not be getting enough water from bottom up method. I would water from top down and see how she responds. 😀🪴
I have this plant love it! But is it suppose to hang?
It, depends, when growing Inside or outside in windy areas she will tend bend, But she also grows upright. And sometimes when she just gets too big her weight causes her to lean.😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN Maybe That's it cause she is kinda tall but in medium size pot, so should I just clip it?
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN It's in my patio
It depends on personal preference, i tend to let them get wild, until they get too lopsided, then I prune and use those cuttings to make new plants.😀🪴
I got a cutting 3 years ago and it is still sooo small!!! Is it in a small pot??
Hmmm, lets see, is your cutting in a bright area? Are you growing her as house plant or patio plant outdoors? 😀🪴
My cutting seems like it's falling apart. The leaves are falling off I have it near a window😢
Does the stem feel firm to the touch ? If so, you might be ok, leaves sometimes fall off during rooting 😀🪴
They will also root in water
I have not tried rooting in water, I use soil method for my babies.😀🪴
HI IVE GOT A PLANT LIKE THIS WAS TOLD IT WAS A D BACKBONE BUT CANT BE BECAUSE MY ONE DROPS SEEDS FROM THE LEAFS AND MORE GROW ...... ANY IDEA WHAT MINE IS CALLED THANK YOU
Hmmm, not sure, can you describe to me the plant a little bit more?😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN i could sent you a photo but dont know how
Hi, just send plant photo to letsgroweco@gmail.com😀🪴
Hi! You have a Mother of Thousands succulent! How cool. The botanical name(s) for this plant are: Kalanchoe daigremontiana or some botanist's have identified her as Bryophyllum daigremontiana or even Kalanchoe x laetivirens Whew, that’s a lot of botanical names! This plant also has the common name as devil's backbone (which definitely can cause confusion with the plant I was discussing Pedilanthus tithymaloides), but she is mostly called Mother of thousands or Mexican hat Kalachoe. Hope this was helpful. Enjoy your wonderful plant!😀🪴
@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN Thank you
Can I purchase some cuttings from you??
No, sorry, we currently are not set up for selling plants.😀 🪴
