Silver Pothos and rabbits do not mix—poison risk.

Silver Pothos

Scindapsus pictus

Silver pothos (Scindapsus pictus), sometimes called satin pothos or silk pothos, is a climbing evergreen from Asia often kept as a trailing houseplant. Matte green leaves flash silver or white speckles, and stems can get long if you let them.

Every part is risky if a rabbit chews it: calcium oxalates irritate the mouth and gut, and you may see drooling, vomiting, belly pain, or off-color urine. Hang baskets high and sweep fallen leaves out of exercise pens.
