Is Angraecum distichum toxic to cats?
Angraecum distichum
No — angraecum distichum is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. True orchids (Orchidaceae) carry no known toxic principle; the ASPCA lists the orchid family as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis is the named reference entry) and notes no orchid species known to poison cats. Angraecum is not individually listed but shares this benign family chemistry. Nibbled foliage may still cause mild GI upset, and any pesticide or fertiliser residue is the real hazard.
