Smithiantha — 6 species

Most Smithiantha are not pet-safe. Of the 6 Smithiantha species in the Growli library, 4 (67%) carry a toxic or mildly-toxic ASPCA classification and 2 are pet-safe. Always confirm the exact species on its pet-safety page before trusting it around cats or dogs.

Most Smithiantha do best in medium indirect light. 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 Smithiantha suit more experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime.
