Hi,

I have these plants and I dont know what they are,

I have 2 house rabbits and want to identify these plant so I know if they are toxic or not, they look a little like Philodendron to me.

Was wondering if anyone can help?

Thanks

Yes Doug, they are both Philodendron's. I'm not sure which ones. The one on left may be a Split Leaf and the one on the right might be Xanadu ... you might like to check out these photo's in the Plant Files to see if you can find a match:

Yes .... I think you should keep them out of the reach of rabbits or critters that would like to eat them! I keep mine on my deck but I know they can be grown outside in the ground in some parts of Florida! It gets too cold in the winter time here for them to survive. We ocassionally have a hard freeze here in East Central Florida.

I have one of these on the side of my house. I saved it from Home Depot a couple of years ago. Have you ever tried to root a cutting? I guess the cold weather doesn't bother mine too much since it's on the side of the house. My mom has a HUGE one in her backyard. It's over the top of the porch roof and now moving around one side of the porch.
