Caring for a Mother of Millions
This plant does need good drainage and is best potted in a commercial cactus soil mix. If using standard potting soil, sand can be added for sharper drainage. When learning how to grow them indoors, locate the plant in bright, but indirect light for several hours per day. When growing outdoors, avoid direct afternoon sun.
Houseplants will benefit from spending the summer outside; just make sure to introduce them to the outside atmosphere gradually and begin their outdoor stay with limited morning sun. Too much direct sunlight may cause leaves to become sunburned. Remember to move the plant back inside before outdoor temperatures drop to the 40 degree F. range. (4 C.). You’ll find that growing mother of millions is simple and mostly carefree – a worthwhile gardening experience with limited care to keep it under control.

They are so prolific that it'll root off the stem of the mother plant if there's no room.
