ficus alii and dracaena deremensis....Safe Plants?

[chriscalvert]

ficus alii aka banana ficus... im assuming its relatively safe, but any toxicity? and does it have the same sap as an ordinary ficus?

Dracaena deremensis... safe?

Ficus ali is a great plant for an enclosure. it doesn't have the same problematic sap as benjimina. Dracaena is also non-toxic but doesn't offer the same type of climbing structure, branches/twigs as a ficus. Another great plant is pothos/devils ivy, super hardy and grows quick.

Here's what you find when you search this site for "alii"

F. 'alii' needs brighter light and less water than a benjamina, IMHO
