What our table adds
Non-toxic to cats and dogs per the ASPCA — the braided-trunk Pachira is genuinely safe. Careful with the name though: “money plant” usually means pothos or jade instead, and both of those ARE toxic, so make sure yours is the braided Pachira.

How this page is made
Every line about this plant comes from the curated table behind our plant checker, as it stands. A verdict appears only beside the ASPCA listing that states it; where the table has no such source, the page says “Not assessed” instead of guessing.
