| Hi I am Ida and just found this site tonight after many prayers. I am wondering my Bryophyllum I am not sure how to identify. It appears to look like the daigremontianum. Underneath the leaves it is spotted. Do I have the correct identification? Also, some of the leaves are brownish. Does this mean they need to be away from the sun? Thanks for any assistance that is rendered. |

Hi Ida,
Bingo, you have spotted a daigremontianum. When more leaves turn brownisk are not a good habit. Mine daigremontianums are standing in southfaced windowsills without any colourchange - they are all pretty green.
Regards,

My diagremontiana seem to be healthy wherever they are, but the ones in direct sun seem to do best. I do know there are more plantlets on the plants that are in full sun.
Last fall, someone gave me a few plantlets. She had no idea what they were, and neither did I. I put them in pots in my greenhouse, and in January two plants bloomed. I had never seen anything like it before. The blooms were of the "chandelier" type and were much more dense than the blooms I've seen on any other bryophyllum I've found on the 'net. The blooms lasted until June, and, when they died, each blossom was replaced by a tiny, fully-formed plant! I have a picture of the primary flower-head with all its "children" that I'd like to upload, but the uploader seems to be on the outs today.
