Jojoe, I was about to post another reply to Tarev with similar questions. My plant is definitely not the same as yours. I think you have K. delagoensis, with skinny leaves and plantlets only at the tips. My K. daigremontiana has triangular leaves with plantlets all along the margins (well, when it has them)... I'm no expert on Kalanchoe taxonomy, but I don't think they're synonyms.

I don't have a photo handy, but this is a perfect match: http://www.cosmoflowers.com/wp...

The undersides of the leaves usually have bold purple markings like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oEkq... but are faded right now to almost solid green.

I thought these babies were 2-3 years old, but now I'm wondering if they're younger and just not starting to reproduce yet. They're definitely at least a year, because it was last spring that I gave my mom all the plants out of my old office, so I haven't had a source of plantlets in the meantime.
