Are Specklinia plants toxic to cats and dogs?

Most Specklinia are pet-safe. Of the 6 Specklinia species we cover, 6 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 0 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even so, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.

How much light do Specklinia plants need?

Most Specklinia 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.
