Bryophyllum, commonly known as "mother of thousands," is a genus of succulent plants belonging to the Crassulaceae family. These plants are characterized by their unique ability to propagate easily, as they produce small plantlets along the edges of their leaves that can grow into new plants. Bryophyllum species are often found in tropical and subtropical regions and are popular in gardens for their ornamental value. Additionally, some species are used in traditional medicine for their purported health benefits.
