Bursera — 7 species

Most Bursera are not pet-safe. Of the 7 Bursera species in the Growli library, 6 (86%) carry a toxic or mildly-toxic ASPCA classification and 1 are pet-safe. Always confirm the exact species on its pet-safety page before trusting it around cats or dogs.

Most Bursera do best in direct sun. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it wants more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much direct sun.

Some Bursera suit more experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime.
