AIUI, wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS is not a Command Event i.e. it doesn't
propagate up the hierarchy of widgets until it gets handled, so it has
to be bound explicitly to the control itself, as above.

Originally you used:

self.Bind(wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS, self.OnUpdatePlantCtrl, self.PlantCtrl)

which binds the event to self (presumably the containing frame or
panel) and adds the condition that it must come from  self.PlantCtrl -
which never happens.
