^love the umbrella trees, they're perfect. Those and pothos are great to start with, hard to kill and are perfectly suitable for cham needs.

I hear ficus can cause problems with their sap? Not sure how serious or true this is, but just thought i'd mention.

Hi, I remember doing research on pothos and umbrella plants some years back and learned that they are slightly toxic. I don't believe they are harmful unless eaten by the large quantities. Just thought it was something worth mentioning.

I'll also try to find the articles that I was given when I was researching it.

Makes sense, seems like most plants are slightly toxic, i'm not a plant guru, but i'd guess as a defense? I don't think as much about it having a panther.
