Panda Plant (Chocolate Soldier, Pussy Ears, Felt Bush, Elephant Ear Kalanchoe)

• Common Name: Panda Plant (Chocolate Soldier, Pussy Ears, Felt Bush, Elephant Ear Kalanchoe)
• Latin Name: Kalanchoe tomentosa; Kalanchoe beharensis
• Family Name: Crassulaceae

There is no evidence that Kalanchoe tomentosa is toxic, but many of the Kalanchoes contain cardiac glycosides that could cause cardiac poisoning in grazing animals, and so we advise against offering any plants from the Kalanchoe genus to tortoises.  These varieties of Kalanchoe are easily identified by the very 'fuzzy' texture of the leaves.
