Talk:Kalanchoe daigremontiana

hybrid naming
According to Jim Space (PIER Program Manager) the KDD should be B. tubiflorum × delagoense.--Tauʻolunga 23:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

The same name is also used by http://www.weeds.org.au/cgi-bin/weedident.cgi?tpl=plant.tpl&ibra=all&card=E25 --Tauʻolunga 22:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC) Dear who ever wrote this,

Kalanchoe have no cladodes!
K daigremontiana produces spurs on its leaves, which are proper ones and no cladodes, as the article suggests it. This unusual property is typical in the kalanchoe genus, especially with the bryophyllum species.


 * I agree that they are leaves, based on the Flora of North America treatment. I notice the original claim is uncited.--♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 21:45, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

How Poisonous?
The source below the article about poisonous plants, http://www.blankees.com/house/plants/backbone.htm, doesn't list it as dangerously poisonous for infants or even pets, nevertheless causing death in infants. All it says, "This plant contains a cardiac glycoside that has caused experimental toxicity and death in chicks and mice."

Also the above source refers to another, original source at http://www.cbif.gc.ca/pls/pp/ppack.info?p_psn=230&p_type=all&p_sci=sci&p_x=px - by government of Canada, with much better, detailed information about toxicity of this plant. But I am not sure how to upgrade it, could someone please do it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladivosta (talk • contribs) 17:42, 16 September 2013 (UTC)


 * For instance, the primary toxins found in Kalanchoe succulents are known as bufadienolides and cardenolides. They’re cardiac glycosides and are present in the plant’s entire body.
 * From stem to leaves, this concentrated amount of cardiotoxins can lead to both acute and chronic Kalanchoe poisoning if not treated immediately.
 * Wherever Kalanchoe plants can be found in the wild, there’s a likely possibility of encountering multiple livestock deaths and poisoning cases.(The Practical Planter.)
 * Please include a piece about the toxicity of these plants ... they are not only highly invasive but also highly toxic to animals and people. 78.150.190.121 (talk) 07:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
