Somewhat exotic looking, the Kalanchoe daigremontiana It is one of those plants that attracts attention. You can have it on a table so that it stands out from the rest or in a privileged corner of the garden because it is a very particular succulent.
Do you want to know its characteristics? I invite you to turn the page and begin to delve into the benefits of this plant.
A rare plant
La Kalanchoe daigremontiana Belongs to the family Crassulaceae and it is native to Madagascar. While it is enough to see it to discover that it is a very special succulent, when observing its leaves we will discover the reason for its rarity: this plant produces new shoots on the margin of its leaves.
These leaves are detached and thus the roots settle into the ground and give rise to the birth of a new specimen. When observing the leaves, it is possible to notice some small spurs that are the ones that will later transform into new shoots. Really surprising, it makes you want to rush out to buy one!
Regarding the appearance of the plant, the Kalanchoe daigremontiana has an erect stem that can be 1 meter high, thes leaves are fleshy and of a generous size that varies between 15-20 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide. Another reason that makes it unique to the plant is that the leaves have a green base color but small purple spots distributed on the underside.
To consider
Beyond its great physical attractiveness and its peculiarities, two basic questions must be taken into account. The Kalanchoe daigremontiana is a toxic plant so it must be kept away from children and pets.
The second recommendation: keep in mind that the leaves of this plant grow in the upper part and that is why the stem bends down. It is not necessary to be alarmed but if to know this data. This is something natural in the plant because once the stem is bent, the plant will continue to develop until, eventually, new stems will develop that will give rise to new plants.
Because you say it is toxic, it is recommended for health problems such as canker etc, visit the website of Josep Pamies in Leida Espanha, or visit the dolce revolucione of medicinal plants.

Hi Carlina.
Yes, if it is taken in low doses it is not toxic. But it is always better to consult a doctor before starting any treatment.

A doctor knows nothing about plants. the medicines they prescribe are from pharmaceutical companies
I ate a lot of calanchoe leaves, I think I thought that. Is there any remedy that can alleviate its effects?

Hello. My dog ate leaves of this plant. Several days later his kidneys became seriously ill and he did not survive, but we are not sure if it was due to this. Does anyone know of a case?

In high doses this plant is, unfortunately, toxic to animals 🙁

I do not understand. In another part of this publication it says that this plant is medicinal if it is consumed about 30 grams per day; now he says it's toxic
Hello Angel.
We recommend that you consult with a doctor or an herbalist if you wish before consuming these types of plants.
