Larix — frequently asked questions
Are Larix plants toxic to cats and dogs?
Most Larix are pet-safe. Of the 13 Larix species we cover, 9 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 4 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even so, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.
How much light do Larix plants need?
Most Larix 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.
Are Larix easy to care for?
Some Larix suit more experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime.
