Toxic to pets
Fatshedera is a cross with English ivy, and ivy is harmful if eaten and can irritate skin, so treat this plant the same: keep children from eating the leaves and wear gloves when cutting it. A cat or dog that eats the leaves can get vomiting, belly pain, drooling and diarrhoea. Get medical advice if a person has swallowed any, and contact a vet if a pet has.
