She told me it is really good for high blood pressure as she just chews on the leaves and it keeps the BP low, but she forgot what the name of the plant is.  Well, I was just diagnosed with  high BP, so just bought it and after some research, found that it is called the Leaf of Life, and contains tons of other healing properties other than high BP.  It is quite an interesting plant.  To propagate it, all one has to do is to break a leave, throw it on top of the soil, cover it slightly and water.  Roots and seedlings will grow out from the edge of the leaf, and one leave can give you several plants.  I am now trying to start some new seedlings, and intending to add the leaves to my smoothies together with the moringa leaves.  I should be extraordinarily &#8220;full of life&#8221; (not that I am not already is)  consuming these two plants.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0410-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0410-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_0410-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Keeping my fingers crossed for multiple babies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79327006_10215960238821742_8491178918609420288_o.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79327006_10215960238821742_8491178918609420288_o.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/gardenmamachronicles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/79327006_10215960238821742_8491178918609420288_o-300x220.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption>Picture from my friend &#8211; Baby plants coming out on one side of leaf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bought this plant from a hispanic lady, who was selling Moringa Tree (Tree of Life) seedlings.
