The verdicts, with their source

What our table adds

Same calcium oxalate crystals as pothos — chewing irritates the mouth and stomach. Mild for a nibble, but worth keeping out of reach of a cat that likes to taste-test.

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.
