Medicine Hat Plant

[St. Anthony's Kitchen]

Good morning!

This is a picture of a Medicine Hat Plant. Notice the little round 'tings' on the outer part of the leaves - these are the plants 'babie's and when they drop off into the soil they produce more plants I heard this plant came from Mexico originally..... but don't know for sure. It sure does grow everywhere in Jamaica!

Enjoy the day!

Beautiful plant, too bad it's tropical and won't grow in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada !

i first saw that plant in mexico, really cool. i used to have one at home but it needs lots of sun and it didn't survive

Is that the same plant called Leaf of Life?

[msB]

took some seeds of that plant (or one similar ... a bit more green) back to illinois. it grew like wild and very hard to kill. seeds kept fell off and kept growing everywhere. some even came back in the spring. was "told" it is of the same family as leaf of life. pic is of the leaf of life plant i brought home this spring.

Good morning Gaileb,

I agree, too bad it won't grow in Canada! I guess the COLD weather would kill it off for sure... maybe you can grow it indoors.

Have a great day!

Good morning jenb,

You're right, it needs a lot of sun, but maybe you can grow it indoors by a window

Have a great day!

Good morning Lola,

No it's not the same plant, but I think it's from the same 'family'.

Have a great day!
