As far as I can tell, Brassaia arboricola is a cultivar of Schefflera arboricola—not a different species. I think it would behoove the chameleon community to know specifically who is saying that Schefflera arboricola is toxic and why. (Specific citations/links only) Merely repeating hearsay is...

Ok so I bought this plant on amazon and it's name is Brassaia Arboricola or Hawaiian Schefflera. I know that Schefflera trees are good, but is this kind ok too? Just wondering if it's toxic or not for chams.:confused:

Yeah quite a bit longer. The ones I have seen in your pics is the arboricola so you are covered. ;) The leaves are a little more rounded in the aroboricola as well. Common Name: Amate Schefflera Scientific Name: Brassaia actinophylla The Amate variety features larger green foliage with a...

LOL your funny. :D I think you are confused. We are talking about the same plant, Brassaia actinophylla and as I said earlier that plant is TOXIC. Therefore if we can substitute that plant for another one then why not do it? My POST was constructive because I was explaining that there should be...
