Panfuti is a succulent medicinal plant well known in traditional Ayurvedic practices. It has thick, fleshy green leaves that produce small baby plantlets along the leaf edges, allowing the plant to reproduce easily. Because of this unique feature, it is also called the Life Plant. Panfuti is valued for its medicinal properties, easy growth, and low maintenance, making it a common plant in home herbal gardens.
