Cultivation of the plant.

In temperate regions, Kalanchoe pinnata is grown as an indoor ornamental plant. Like most succulents, it cannot survive hard frost and will not thrive in environments in which the temperature drops below 10 °C . It favours well-drained soil, the roots being otherwise susceptible to rot. In the tropics, Kalanchoe pinnata is grown outdoors in gardens, from which it may escape to become naturalised - often as an invasive weed.

Toxicity and traditional medicine of the plant.

In common with other species belonging to the Crassulaceae (including certain members of the genera Tylecodon, Cotyledon and Adromischus), Kalanchoe pinnata has been found to contain bufadienolide cardiac glycosides.These can cause cardiac poisoning, particularly in grazing animals.

Bryophyllum pinnatum has been recorded in Trinidad and Tobago as being used as a traditional treatment for hypertension.

In traditional medicine, the juice of the leaves is also used for kidney stones, although there is ongoing research and some scientific evidence for this use but further research is required. In the French Antilles, Kalanchoe pinnata, called zeb maltet, is used in local application against headaches. For the people of the Amazon, kalanchoe has multiple uses: the Creoles use it roasted against inflammations and cancer and as an infusion, and as a popular remedy for fevers. The Palikur people of Brazil and French Guiana apply a preparation of the juice of Kalanchoe leaves mixed with coconut oil to their foreheads to treat headache.

Uses of the plant.

For kalanchoe pinnata medicinal uses, the active constituents of katakataka are believed to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antifungal properties for the treatment of several health conditions.

The leaves of the Katakataka plant may be used as a topical treatment for lesions and other external infections. Some even claim that the seeds have analgesic properties.

It also helps with cough, arthritis, hypertension and headaches.

There is also ongoing research linking the katakataka herbal plant as a remedy for kidney stones, liver diseases, high blood pressure and urinary problems.

We recommend consulting your doctor before using the katakataka plant as an herbal alternative or medication booster.
