Brazilian Snow - Ctenanthe lubbersiana

[ColombiaCham]

I came across this plant at my local nursery. I has broad leaves, bushy. It grows on damp soils and requires very little light (perfect for indoor cham enclosures ). It is from the same family as the Prayer Plant (FL CHAMS - safe plant list) I did some research and have not found it to be toxic. However, id rather be safe than sorry. Has anyone used this plant?

If its not on the list and no one used it before I wouldn't risk it .as a matter of fact there is other safe plant list I would look around and if it isn't on any list i wouldnt use it for my cjams.good luck.

Check safe plant lists for other animals like bearded dragons and tortoises too.

Thanks Found It

Brazilian Snow is actually a Prayer Plant. The name derives from the variegated color of the leaves. However it is a Prayer plant which is considered to be non toxic. $12.95 for a 3 gallon 3 foot plant is a steal
