Mother of Thousands Plant Thriving on an Office Windowsill

What about yours?

What's the secret? This thing grows no matter what, otherwise why would it be called 'rooting on the ground'?

Control its growth in a small pot, and you'll get even more beautiful ones.

It looks quite nice when it blooms.

Good luck.

It might actually grow better if you don't water it.

One somehow grew in my flower pot, so I built it its own little house.

Oh no, seeing yours just reminded me that mine is out in the rain. It's over, it's going to turn green.

Ingot.

The compact windowsill setup makes the plant look healthy without crowding the workspace.

The office windowsill light looks bright enough for the plant without making the leaves appear scorched.

I have this at home, but it's half-dead. I also have one with tiger stripes that propagates the same way but is easier to keep alive.

You're only a true master if you manage to kill this plant.

I remember there's another variety of this that has already overrun my house.

I feel like I can do this again. People told me succulents were easy to care for, but they all died within a week in my hands.

Whatever you do, don't let it grow in the cracks around your house, it will ruin the foundation. This thing grows like crazy, you have to clean it up wave after wave.

What kind of succulent is this?

It also has the alias 'immortal bird'...

A couple of days ago, I put my Venus flytrap in the yard for some sun, and a bunch of these little leaves fell into the pot. I don't know if they came from the upstairs neighbor, but they sprouted so fast. It scared me, so I picked them out with tweezers and threw them away.

...Otherwise, why do you think it's called the immortal bird?

I have a huge pot of it at home, but I have no idea where the seeds blew in from.

The layered leaves look quite interesting.

Isn't this the Mother of Thousands?

This thing just grows wildly on the tiled roofs of old houses.

Pull it out, burn it, and scatter the ashes! Not joking!

This thing is also an herb; it can reduce swelling and bruising.

This thing just crazily copy-pastes itself, getting everywhere...

You shouldn't water this thing often. Keep it controlled long-term, and the color will look better.

I study botany, and my supervisor said if you can manage to kill this thing, he'd be truly impressed.

My supervisor sent me this picture and asked if I could make hollyhocks do this. I said, haha, professor, I've never seen anything like this, I'll try my best. My supervisor said just manage the petri dishes you have on hand.

Why are my leaves curling inward and feeling soft? I water it once every half month and leave it out in the blazing sun.

I used to buy them, but now there are so many on my office roof. I pick off the babies every day to relieve stress, and since I have nowhere to plant them, I just scatter them around.

I've shoveled this plant off my roof several times and it keeps growing back, so annoying. It grows into every crack and makes the floorboards warp.

This is so annoying, it blew into all my succulent pots.

It's best to keep it far away from other plants, or you won't have any other plants next year.

My little bonsai.

Mine grew huge. I don't want to plant this thing anymore, it produces too many babies.

We call it 'rooting on the ground'.

Why do you think it's called the immortal bird?

Do you think the name 'immortal bird' is just for show?

Is this the thing we used to press in books?

My sister grew this too. After she killed a bunch of succulents and cacti, this was the only one that survived. At first, she watered it every day and almost killed it. I told her not to water it so often, and it finally lived.

Netizens say this is easy to invite in but hard to get rid of.

First time seeing this, it's quite unique.

I planted 4 of them, watered them heavily, and they exploded in growth.

A bunch of them grew on the edge of my courtyard wall where there's barely any soil.

I really enjoy picking off those little buds on top.

It's too scary, I chopped off a lot and threw them away.

You actually water it? It won't die even if you don't.

Immortal bird.

Why isn't mine producing any plantlets?

I even managed to kill this immortal bird.

I somehow managed to kill mine. I don't know what happened, it just wouldn't grow.

I used to grow this, and then all my flower pots were full of it. I eventually pulled it out and threw it outside, but it still grew back.

It gets annoying after a while. You have to spend time cleaning up its babies every month, otherwise they drop everywhere. If they fall into a pot and you ignore them, they grow like crazy.

It scares me just looking at it.

You'll start getting annoyed by it very soon.

This thing is literally called the immortal bird.

It just keeps coming back. I've always neglected it, and it still grows so well.

I managed to kill mine.

Wow, it looks like a palm leaf fan.

This exact plant. It took me two years to finally keep it alive.

Mother of Thousands. We call it 'rooting on the ground' here. I planted one in primary school and it multiplied into a bunch. The first one I planted grew the biggest and tallest, and even bloomed like little lanterns.

This one has grown way too much.

I remember my high school homeroom teacher kept a pot by the classroom door. The leaves grew a lot of babies, but our classmates knocked them all off.

I almost found my confidence, but then I looked at the comments and my world collapsed.

I heard this thing cures hemorrhoids.

It's easy to invite in, but hard to get rid of.

This thing won't die even if you don't water it for a long time. The drier the soil, the redder the leaves get.

I planted one, and there are lots of little ones on the leaves too.

I managed to kill it.

Sigh... I killed it.

It's really healing to look at.
