Bryophyllum reproduces through vegetative propagation, where adventitious buds play a key role in its growth. These buds form in the notches along the edges of its leaves. As the buds develop, they grow into small plantlets. These plantlets eventually separate from the parent leaf and mature into fully grown plants, enabling Bryophyllum to spread and establish itself without the need for seeds. This efficient form of reproduction allows the plant to proliferate quickly and adapt to various conditions.
