Kalanchoe — 20 species

Kalanchoe is a popular succulent genus from Madagascar, grown indoors for its long-lasting clusters of red, orange, yellow, or pink blooms and its minimal care demands. Plants thrive in bright indirect to direct light and prefer the soil to dry out fully between waterings — overwatering is the most common mistake. All Kalanchoe species are toxic to cats and dogs. The plants contain bufadienolide cardiac glycosides that can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and in severe cases abnormal heart rhythm. Keep Kalanchoe, Panda Plant, Mother of Thousands, and Paddle Plant out of reach of all pets.
