Is this plant safe?

[kulbida]

Looking at getting some live plants for my enclosure. I noticed this hybrid lilac at Home Depot.

Anybody know if it is safe/unsafe?

Thanks.

What cham species? Some are more likely to chew on their plants than others.

to my knowledge, syringes are on the safe plants list. but seeing the words hybrid lilac makes me uncomfortable putting it in a cage.

I'll be getting a baby veiled at the end of the month.

That's why I was skeptical as well. I will be getting a pothos and possibly an umbrella if I can find one in town. I may hold off on this one though.

Thanks for your reply.

You could do some research on the hybrid itself to see if the cross includes a cultivar that has a higher level of some alkaloid, protein, acid, or other potential toxin. I don't know if that entire genus is considered "safe" or whether there are some species that are not for some odd reason. Some "hybrids" are simple crosses of closely related cultivars so they may be so similar it doesn't matter.

weird. could not find this hybrid on wiki, the picures though are looking similar to the regular syringes.

Lilacs are toxic and will not do well longterm, as they need a cool rest and are deciduous.

Are button ferns safe?

Yes,
Button ferns are just fine.
