Hi! My name is Laura, and I am a researcher at the Institute of Botany, Spain. We are studying the hybrid Kalanchoe houghtonii, the plant from your publication. It would be very useful to know if whether the observed individual is cultivated or, on the contrary, survive by its own (that is, escaped from cultivation). Thank you very much in advance!
