Schefflera

[Grantman]

ok now i have noticed on the live plants that are good for chams that schefflera are on there. but only two kinds. does it imply that all of the schefflera plants are ok? i want to put a schefflera enano in my chams cage.

I am only familiar with the two more common, schefflera-actinophylla and schefflera-arboricola;

schefflera-arboricola - OK

schefflera-actinophylla - TOXIC (sap is irritating and if ingested can cause illness.)

I have never heard of "enano" not sure if this will help or not

ok well idk if thhis helps either but its a dwarf schefflera. the card that it had on it said schefflera enano but its at lowes and i didnt want to get it until i knew it was safe.

schefflera enano??
Enano as in "Arbol Paraguas Enano"?

Enano in spanish means tiny or dwarf.
So, if you do mean it in spanish then Schefflera Enano means Dwarf Schefflera.

Which means it is "Schefflera Arboricola"

Which means check Ryan's answer on arboricola.
