'''''Kalanchoe delagoensis''''' is a [[succulent plant]] native to [[Madagascar]]. In common with the other members of the [[Kalanchoe sect. Bryophyllum|''Bryophyllum'']] [[section (botany)|section]] of the [[genus]] ''[[Kalanchoe]]'', ''K. delagoensis'' is notable for vegetatively growing small plantlets on the fringes of its leaves, leading to its common names of '''mother of thousands''' and '''mother of millions'''. '''Chandelier plant''' is an alternative common name.
The plant's capability for [[vegetative reproduction]], its [[drought tolerance|resistance to drought]], and its popularity as a [[ornamental plant|garden plant]], have allowed the plant to become an [[invasive weed]] in places such as [[eastern Australia]] and many [[Pacific islands]]. In the [[Neotropics]] it even gets pollinated by [[hummingbird]]s on occasion<ref>For example [[Sapphire-spangled Emerald]] (''Amazilia lactea'') in Brazil (Baza Mendonça & dos Anjos 2005)</ref>.
