Thunbergia — frequently asked questions
Are Thunbergia plants toxic to cats and dogs?
Most Thunbergia are not pet-safe. Of the 11 Thunbergia species in the Growli library, 7 (64%) carry a toxic or mildly-toxic ASPCA classification and 4 are pet-safe. Always confirm the exact species on its pet-safety page before trusting it around cats or dogs.
How much light do Thunbergia plants need?
Most Thunbergia 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.
