Hello! I have this lovely plant at work that was given to me as a gift. I want to it bring home but I am scared of my cat taking a bite and getting sick. Does anyone know the name of this plant and if its toxic? |

| Don't chance it. Most house plants are poisonous.  😎😎😎 Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong. |

| It eminds me of Bloodleaf (Iresine diffusa f. herbstii) Many plants are toxic to cats and/or dogs so unless you can get a confirmation on the exact identity, I'd hesitate to take it home, especially if your kitty tends to chew on plants. Here's the ASPCA listing for Iresine: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

 Not a houseplant in my zone, but great color in shady spots. Very easy to start from cuttings. |
