Chandelier plant(Bryophyllum tubiflorum)

The name tubiflora comes from the tubular shaped flowers.

Blooming Habits:
The Kalanchoe tubiflora has orange or red, bell-shaped flowers in winter, the plant dies after blooming.

Propagation:
This plant is fairly common in cultivation because of the speed at which it multiplies if the conditions are right. It can easily become a weed. The production of bulbils is related to the growing conditions. In good conditions, the production is limited, the plant grows rapidly, and blooms. In poorer conditions, the plant reproduces mostly vegetatively, producing large quantities of bulbils, and takes years to bloom. The flowering stem dies after blooming.
