I received this plant as a gift, it came with no tag to identify it. Please help. The little spikes on the leaves are baby plants that will fall off and for a new plant.
Side view of plant. Can see smaller plant next to it, was made from the spike on the leaves.
Top view of plant.

    Try Google, and look up Mother-of-Thousands, and kalanchoe. It appears to be a type of that plant.

    Yes, and it's pretty easy-going as house plants go. It just multiplies like crazy. Each "baby' is a potential new plant. Have fun.

    Mother of Thousands or Hawiian Tree Of Life is what I was told when given one. they love sunny windows (I have mine in an East window) and don't water very often.

    The babies can be a real problem. They will grow anywhere, even without soil. If you have other plants , keep them away from this one or there will be babies in their soil & they will take over that pot.. I had one & I finally throw it out.

    The Latin name is Kalanchoe. If you google that, you can find out more.
