Schefflera Arboricola safe?

jonpcab Jun 09, 2005 06:51 PM

I usually get my Schefflera plants form Orchards, but they started carrying a different kind (Schefflera Arboricola) I wasn't sure if it was toxic or not but I bought it anyway, it looks nice so if I can't use it for him I'll just leave it in the living room. Before I stick it in my Chams cage, I want to make sure it's safe. It's not on any safe plant lists I've seen, but I haven't seen it on any "Toxic Plants list" either. Any of you know?

I wish he'd just stop annihilating his plants. Eats 'em like there's no tomorrow.

thanks

If you want schefflera (which is the best plant for chams in my opinion) go to HD...They are 6$ there and some great plants!

I am pretty sure it is safe, actinophylla is toxic though.
