Schefflera actinophylla?

[CheyL]

Hello. I’m new to the forum and to chameleon keeping. I think the plant I have is a Schefflera actinophylla But cant find anything about safety to chameleons. Is it a safe plant? I want a panther chameleon and I know they don’t eat leafs. Is the umbrella plant ok?

Safe

Are you sure? I know i have seen Schefflera arboricola on a safe list somewhere, but cant find anything about Schefflera actinophylla?

Those lists are BS anyway, yes I'm sure, especially for a panther

Thank you! I don’t need to return it then. Is there anyway to clean it Incase it has pesticides on it?

Some people will use vinegar or soapy water to wipe off the leaves. I generally just hose mine down and replace the soil now. I haven't noticed a difference
