Introducing the Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies, known as Pink Mother of Thousands due to its ability to produce numerous plantlets along the leaf edges, resembling miniature replicas of the mother plant. This plant belongs to the Kalanchoe, opens in a new tab genus and is recognized for its charming pink and green foliage, resembling fluttering butterflies, hence the name Pink Butterflies. 

Native to Madagascar, this plant thrives in warm climates and is cherished by plant enthusiasts for its ornamental value and low maintenance requirements. This variegated cross between Mother of Millions, opens in a new tab and Mother of Thousands, opens in a new tab grows tall stems and long, thin leaves. 


The leaves develop new pink plantlets or leaflets that resemble butterflies. The bulbils are pink because they lack chlorophyll, but with sufficient light, they can propagate and grow into new, rooted plants.

However, it is important to note that the tiny plantlets no longer have the ability to root. Although a few may root, the majority do not.

The pink color of these pink leaflets is due to a lack of chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll, variegated plants will die.

The Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies typically can grow up to 3 feet tall and spread out to form a rosette of striking pink and green leaves. The leaves are scalloped, with variegated sport, creating a delightful contrast that adds a pop of color to any indoor or outdoor space. This plant's compact size makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or as part of a succulent arrangement. 

The flowers of Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies typically bloom in late winter to early spring, with clusters of small, bell-shaped pink flowers that emerge from tall stalks above the foliage. The vibrant pink blooms complement the plant's colorful leaves, creating a beautiful display that attracts pollinators and adds a touch of elegance to its surroundings. 

Propagation of the Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies is relatively straightforward and can be done through leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. The plantlets that grow along the edges of the leaves can be carefully removed and planted in a well-draining soil mix to establish new plants. Additionally, leaf cuttings can be taken from the mother plant, allowed to callus, and then placed in soil to root and grow into a new pink butterfly kalanchoe.  

Watering Needs 

Like other succulents, opens in a new tab, the Pink Mother of Thousands needs moderate watering to thrive and flourish. When watering your Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies, allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings to prevent overwatering. It's essential to water deeply but ensure excess water can drain away to avoid water accumulation at the roots. Make sure the container has adequate drainage holes. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, water your Pink Mother of Thousands more frequently as the plant actively grows. However, in the winter months or during dormancy, reduce watering to prevent waterlogged soil. 

Remember, observing the plant's leaves can also be helpful; if they start to appear wilted or wrinkled, it may be a sign that the plant needs water. Always adjust your watering frequency based on the plant's specific needs and environmental conditions to maintain a healthy and thriving Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies plant. 

Light Requirements

When growing your Kalanchoe pink butterfly indoors, place it in a location where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight. A south or west-facing window is ideal for providing the plant with the necessary bright sunlight it needs to thrive. If direct sunlight is too intense, consider filtering it through a sheer curtain to prevent leaf burn while still allowing enough light for the Pink Mother of Thousands. 

For outdoor cultivation, ensure it receives full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours a day. In warmer regions, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from scorching sun exposure. Outdoor locations with morning sunlight and dappled shade in the afternoon can be beneficial for the plant's growth and overall health. Monitor the plant's response to its outdoor location; if it shows signs of sunburn or stress, consider adjusting its placement to a spot with slightly less direct sunlight. 

By understanding and meeting the light requirements of the Pink Mother of Thousands, you can promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage in both indoor and outdoor settings. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The Kalanchoe pink butterflies favor very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting succulent soil, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Kalanchoe succulent to thrive. 

In terms of fertilizer, the Pink Mother of Thousands benefits from a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer formulated for succulents. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies once a year to support their growth and flowering.

However, reduce or stop fertilizing during the plant's dormant period in fall and winter. Always dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength to avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm the plant. By providing the right soil mix and fertilizing regimen, you can help your Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies thrive and display their vibrant colors and healthy growth.

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, this Pink Mother of Thousands plant prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. It thrives in average room temperatures and can tolerate slight fluctuations but avoid placing it in drafty areas or near heating or cooling vents that may cause temperature extremes. 

For outdoor cultivation, the Pink Mother of Thousands is typically suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. These zones encompass regions with milder freezing temperatures, where the plant can survive and thrive outdoors year-round. In terms of temperature, this plant prefers a warm climate and is sensitive to frost. Ensure the outdoor temperature stays above 50°F to prevent damage to the Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies. 

Regarding humidity, the Pink Mother of Thousands is adaptable to average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates slightly higher humidity levels, especially during the growing season. If you live in a dry climate or your indoor space is particularly dry, consider increasing humidity around the plant by misting its leaves or using a humidifier. 

By providing the right temperature range and managing humidity levels, you can create an environment where the Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies can thrive and display their unique beauty both indoors and outdoors. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Pink Mother of Thousands (Kalanchoe Pink Butterflies) is a delightful succulent plant that enchants with its pink and green foliage resembling fluttering butterflies. Whenever one of the butterflies falls off, it has the potential to develop roots and become its own plant.

With its easy propagation, charming flowers, and compact size, this plant is a wonderful addition to any plant collection, bringing beauty and elegance to indoor and outdoor spaces. Its low-maintenance nature and ornamental value make it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of color and uniqueness to their surroundings.

Concise yet thorough treatment of the difficult passages.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Excellent, balanced, thorough treatment of the pastoral epistles. Highly recommended. Note: Customer 7 above is incorrect in stating that Yarbrough doesn’t reference or quote Hubner on 1 Tim 2:12. You will find Hubner on pages 175 and 176.

Another welcome Pillar commentary
Format: Hardcover
The newest volume in the excellent Pillar New Testament Commentary series is another first-rate effort. The American New Testament professor has already done a very good commentary on 1-3 John (BECNT, 2008). His newest commentary adds to a now rather impressive line-up of Pillar commentaries. As to the Pastorals, the four most important and substantial commentaries from a basically conservative, evangelical stance over the past few decades have been these: 1992: George Knight (NIGTC – 500 pages) 2000: Jerome Quinn and William Wacker (ECC – 900 pages) 2000: William Mounce (WBC – 640 pages) 2006: Philip Towner (NICNT – 900 pages) Mention should also be made of two other commentaries. One is the 1999 volume by I. Howard Marshall (with Philip Towner) in the ICC series. It is also 900 pages and looks to be outstanding. But I do not own it (the ICC series is SO expensive), so I cannot comment further on it. Another is the shorter, 300+ page work by Gordon Fee (NIBC, 1984) which can also be added to any list of highly recommended volumes on the Pastorals. Now we have Yarbrough to join these important works. He provides us with a very workable, informed and detailed examination of the Pastoral Epistles. He spends 95 of his 600 pages on introductory matters. As to authorship, it has become somewhat trendy of late to deny Pauline authorship. Even some conservatives have gone in this direction Yarbrough offers ten pages on this, and affirms the traditional stance, saying: “For eighteen centuries, Pauline authorship was never doubted by the churches’ intellectual leaders; even in the last two centuries, many have doubted the doubters.” As to the commentary proper, one tends to first head to well-known, contentious, difficult, or important passages. So let me reflect on a few of these. One of the most hotly debated passages in the Pastorals of course has to do with the matter of women in leadership. Paul covers this in several places, but the most crucial passage is 1 Timothy 2:11-15. This is certainly a difficult passage in many respects, and one that is hotly debated. The two main camps on this have been the complementarians, who argue that men and women are equal in worth and status, but have differing, hierarchical roles, and the egalitarians, who argue that women can fully serve in church leadership positions. This debate has been going on for quite some time now. Because all of 1 Tim. 2 must be considered here (dealing as it does with propriety in public worship), Yarbrough has a lengthy general discussion about these issues first. He then devotes another 20 pages to the actual contentious passage. He offers a “qualified complementarian reading” on all this. Egalitarians may not fully agree, but they should appreciate his careful and gracious exegesis here. And of course he has written on this elsewhere, as in his chapter in the important volume edited by Kostenberger and Schreiner: Women in the Church, 3rd ed. (Crossway, 1995, 2016). Another issue that can be rather difficult to understand and deal with concerns those who “have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1 Tim 1:18-20). Paul says something similar in 1 Cor. 5. Says Yarbrough, “From these two passages it may be inferred that in grave cases of ethical or doctrinal lapse, and perhaps drawing on Job 2:6, Satan was viewed as ‘God’s agent in judicial administration.’ Whereas congregations would normally have prayed for one another, there were evidently cases where petition would shift from divine protection to divine discipline (with Satan as God’s agent). Sometimes harsh measures are required to wake people up (see 2 Thess. 3:10-14).” Since discussions about overseers are found in all three epistles, both Paul and Yarbrough spend much time on the topic. In one of the passages he makes this remark: “In sum, ‘the overseer is to be’ introduces more than a random wish list for the pastorally inclined do-gooder. It points to a quality and depth of godliness that are indiscernible for the magnitude and gravity of pastoral labor that Paul models, expects of Timothy, and hopes to see replicated in generations to come at Ephesus and beyond.” Two more issues that can be contentious for some is found in 1 Tim. 5:23: “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.” Some teetotallers try to argue that this is not actual wine, but watered down grape juice. And some of the health and wealth gospellers insist that no faith-filled believer should ever get sick. Yarbrough gives short shrift to both of these ideas. Another famous passage dealing with wealth is 1 Tim. 6:6-10 which speaks of false teachers and the love of money. Yarbrough affirms the biblical balance Paul seeks to present here: “Birth and death both illustrate the tenuous relation between life and material goods. Paul wants to relativize (not trivialize or eliminate) the importance of earthly acquisitions, since he observes people tempted to enlist God in their material quest. . . . It is important to note that this is not an adoption of an ideal of Hellenistic philosophy. Nor is it an endorsement of poverty. . . . If God does grant wealth, and if a believer has not sold his or her soul to acquire it, Paul will later give directions for its proper utilization (see on vv. 17-19 below).” Other matters could be mentioned here. But all up this is a very competent and usable commentary, one that will stand the test of time. It offers careful exegesis and helpful theological insights. It is a very welcome addition to the Pillar series. The PNTC series really has become one of the premier sets for evangelicals and those who want the best of biblical scholarship and careful exegesis.

Great, New Commentary!
Format: Hardcover
This commentary by Robert Yarbrough will become, I predict, a top-rated volume on the Pastoral Epistles. These epistles are ideal for the style of commentary we find in the Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC) series. As respected and valuable as the NICNT volumes by the same publisher are, these Pillar volumes are simply more valuable. They have a better center of focus, are more consistently conservative, and have more value for pastors without sacrificing scholarship. This volume succeeds in reaching that standard too. As you might have guessed, the editorship of D. A. Carson likely keeps this series moored to that lofty perch. BTW, don’t miss the editor’s preface where Carson fawns over Yarbrough’s work here. I was in love with this commentary within a few pages of its fine Introduction. So many commentators lose their way in the Pastoral Epistles. I have long suspected that it has far more to do with the authors dislike of what these epistles say rather than any actual problem found within them. Yarbrough is not sucked into the irrational fear of using the term “pastoral epistles” as so many are today either. It’s a breath of fresh air. He opens the Introduction with eight theses on pastoral heritage in these epistles. To my mind, that was a great way to present introductory issues. Next, he does a section each on Father, Son, and Spirit respectively in the Pastoral Epistles (PE). He was particularly perceptive in discussing Paul as a working pastor, even dispensing some silly critical theories along the way. He then tackles in turn geography, people, and key terms. He ends with a section on authorship and other usual introductory matters and masterfully reaches conservative conclusions. The commentary itself was even better! The phrase “real help” comes to mind. He showed off his skill, for example, in the perpetual battlefield of Titus 2. He gently yet surefootedly takes us where that disliked passage goes. He’s kind to dissenters, careful in scholarship, but not afraid to reach a conclusion. I don’t know about you, but that’s how I like my commentaries. 5 stars all the way!

A Thorough Commentary that Needs Less Neutrality
Format: Kindle
Dr. Yarbrough has addressed the meaning of the Pastoral Epistles with the excellence we have have come to expect from him. However, sometimes he seems reluctant to take a stand on some controversial issues (other than on Pauline authorship and matters of basic Christian orthodoxy, to both of which he is correctly firmly committed). When several possibilities of meaning are possible, for example, it would be helpful to know which hypothesis he favors, and why. While occasionally he does state a definitive opinion, more often he does not, perhaps in a laudable but somewhat overdone effort to avoid controversy with fellow theologians. However, when one reads a 1000+ page commentary written at a scholarly level, one expects the author to give his or her expert opinion on such matters—indeed, it is a major reason that one purchases and studies a commentary. To conclude on a more positive note, Dr. Yarbrough’s observations on Greek word usage, including numerous Old Testament passages from the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers and apocryphal works, were very helpful in aiding the reader in understanding fine shades of meaning. His pastoral observations and deductions based on the text are simply excellent. His discussions of the strengths and weaknesses commonly encountered in Christian leaders in Western countries versus those observed in leaders from other nations were fascinating and edifying, not to mention occasionally convicting (in a good way)—even for readers who aren’t pastors, like me.

Unimpressive
Format: Hardcover
Concerning various controversial questions of like Pauline authorship and women in ministry, Yarbrough's commentary is lackluster, polemical, and altogether dismissive of large swaths of evangelical scholarship that run counter to his claims. There are better commentaries from an evangelical perspective (I. Howard Marshall, Philip Towner) that seriously address such questions without resorting to hand-waving. Overall, an unimpressive and polemical work that is superseded by better words.
