Are these plants SAFE for my cham enclosure? My office is giving them away and nobody can say what kind they are. I THINK one is an UMBRELLA plant and the other is a POTHOS---BUT I would really like to be sure. Anyone know?

plant b in a philodendron i can becuase it has a white vine which i think are awsome in cages to add contrast to all the green....the first is a nontoxic but the philodendron is so if you have a leaf eating cham (veiled o panther) i would use it i use them in jacksons cages

I know 1 type of 'umbrella plant' IS TOXIC... are you sure this isnt one of them? I have a veiled so a philedendron wont work.

thanks!

The first is a schflerrus (sp?) or umbrella plant. They are non toxic and very hardy. I had one once that I stuck in an attic window to get sun over the winter, but kinda forgot about it. I hadn't watered it once from christmas to the end of march, and some how when I put it outside and gave it water it revived!
