Is Arboricola Bush a safe plant for a Veiled Chameleon?

[cigdoll]

I just brought home my new 10 weeks old male Veiled Cham named Kiddo! and I was in a garden center recently and came across this plant that might make a good addition to Kiddo's home, but I'm not sure if it's safe and I've been searching about it.

Name of Plant: Arboricola Bush
Commonly known as Parasol plant
Family: Araliaceae

This is the safe plant list. I would check on there.

Welcome to the forums!

This should answer your question if its safe or not, and any other plant related questions

And make sure, that if you do buy the plant from any retail store like walmart or home depot, that you un-plant the tree and wash its roots off with warm water and re-pot it in a pot of UN-fertilized soil.

Edit: Now that I look at this plant list it isnt very helpful : /
Flchams one is better ^^^^

Yes it is safe..I believe common name is umbrella plant...I have this plant in all my cages it holds water very well

So if I dont see any part of the name in the flcham's list then it wouldn't be safe?

Yes, at first I thought it was an umbrella plant. After a closer look, I have doubts because the leaves look different from my brother's umbrella plant. The structure and the way the leaves blossom is very similar as far as I can see. Anyway, I will do further research and figure this plant out!

My apologies Kelly, apparently the name of this plant is in the Safe Plant List.

Well, I guess this was another story of a over-worried parent!
