Succulents that reproduce as easily as Bryophyllum delagoense (Devil’s backbone) (Mother of Millions)?

I'm sure Mother of a Thousand (Mother of Millions) doesn't get too much respect because it is one of the easiest succulents to grow. It's tolerant of a lot of abuse and is typically the bane of a greenhouse grower for how easily it reproduces and propagates on existing pots and planters. That said, I'm looking for some more succulents that reproduce as quickly and easily. Are there any others that produce plantlets or where stem cuttings take off almost immediately?

Crassula muscosa, Graptopetalum paraguayense and Sedum x rubrotinctum are all really, really easy

There are several other Bryophyllum that grow plantlets from the leaf margins. I don't remember any names right now

very interesting post - especially if you are toying with the idea to sell a few extras on Etsy one day - I think I have all of these species - and enjoy them - even though the tubular mother of millions has become a pest for me, too - it is chocking other plants as soon as a few "babies" fall into the pots - Etsy sales sound good to me for those extras that I should pull out more quickly
