I did some digging/research into this. I will not go into all the detail I read & hope that I can convey the info I learned without repeating everything. You can always go looking for yourself! =) First, it is a mistake for Kalanchoe daigremontiana to be called by the common name, Devil's Backbone. But, like many common names, more than one plant (that has just one botanical name-or reclassified, having a new name) can be known by the same common name. In addition, on the Internet, it only takes a few to start calling something by another name ~to make it so! It takes on a domino effect, snowballing, & then you can find it all over the web!! It doesn't mean it is correct. Devil's Backbone is the common name for Pedilanthus tithymaloides (aka Euphorbia tithymaloides). It got its name from having zigzag stems. Euphorbia are known for having a milky, latex sap which can be toxic should be handled with care. It seems there are many references to Kalanchoe daigremontiana as Devil's Backbone on the web (I somehow missed this reference early on in the post, Karen, but now I'm 'thinking w/you on this'). That little detail aside, I still assert that Kalanchoe does NOT have poisonous or toxic SAP. There have been many tests/experiments done (chicks were mentioned) over a number of years by various agencies (several in Australia). Yes, they have found that several Kalanchoe species contain toxic properties (cardiac glycoside-mentioned earlier, & bufadienolides). They have cited cattle/livestock deaths attributed to some of these Kalanchoe. Interesting to note that the most poisonous were the flowerheads (in descending order) of hybrid (Bryophyllum/Kalanchoe daigremontiana x K. tubiflora/delagoensis which I believe is now considered~) Kalanchoe x houghtonii, Kalanchoe pinnata & Kalanchoe tubiflora/delagoensis. The whole plant of Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi is toxic...all of these...IF EATEN...and you would have to eat QUITE A BIT (like cattle do while grazing). They found 20g wet wt per kg body wt would do the trick. Anyone care to translate that to measurements we use more often here in the U.S.? In chicks (2 wk-old Leghorns), they had to eat 12-18 mg per g. of body wt to be poisoned. Using the 1st set of figures, I get this, roughly: If 200 lb. person + 68.2 kg 20g (wet wt) x 68.2kg = 1364g = 5.77 cups (needed to be eaten) There were several Kalanchoes mentioned that could be toxic: daigremontiana, tubiflora (now delagonensis), fedtschenkoi, pinnata & prolifera. But never was any sap mentioned. You would have to consume the plant to be poisoned. There is no sap. I may have goofed in some detail above, but I think you get the jist of it. If you have pets you think will EAT the plants, keep them from it (by whatever means). Also, I grow these types outside, so it's not just an indoor ornamental. I have dogs & a cat. These plants are all over my back yard (weed that they are). My pets don't eat these plants. Also, no, I do not think any of the Crassula ovata plants are poisonous. Hope this helps ease some minds. =) Have a good day! ~Rosemarie

Jo, wow, I bet the Haydite is really well-draining, and considering all the rain you guys are getting, I'm sure it's beneficial. If they sold in smaller bags I wouldn't mind buying say 40lbs. I buy mediums in bulk too..Thanks so much..I'll keep an eye out..Though I'd be hesitant potting in total Haydite, (I'm chicken, lol) I wouldn't mind adding it to my home-made C&S mix..Thanks. Supannee, thanks..I shouldn't have said I let C&S's dry out to the point soil is cracked..I usually let soil dry to a point it looks crumbly..Since some plants are in 4" clay pots, I keep an eye on those guys. They dry out much faster than say an 8" plastic pot.. Ray, thank you, too..so you found the Pedilanthus? I will unpot, check roots, then repot in fresh soil..I use Perlite as part of my mix, and believe me, all C&S's are potted in well-draining soil..LOL.. Normally my plants are outside by now, but we had work done on the garage that took several wks to complete..I still have to work in yard, rid weeds, etc, by digging up soil..then I'll take plants outside..but yes, my plants go out every spring/summer/fall. It's a good idea taking a cutting as insurance..But I also wrote to a nursery that sells this plant..they told me to phone this afternoon, so I'll have to think about it..I'd like to add a new plant w/the old..BTW, new growth is exceptionally healthy.. I'm just disappointed because the DB is one of my favorite succulents. It was doing great, numerous stems and healthy variegated leaves, then problems at home, so plants, (almost 400) were neglected..I've no one to blame buy myself...oh well, sorry for ranting..LOL Okay everyone, thanks for advice..I've got to decide whether or not I'll buy the DB from the nursery, so if I do, I'll wait to repot, otherwise, I'll get to it today..thanks again, Toni
