Is Viking XL begonia safe for pets?
No. True begonias in the genus Begonia are considered toxic to dogs, cats, and horses because they contain soluble calcium oxalates. The underground portion is generally the most concentrated, but pets should be prevented from chewing any part of the plant. Ingestion may cause drooling, oral irritation, or vomiting. Place large containers and garden plants beyond the reach of curious animals and collect plant debris during maintenance. Wear gloves if your skin is sensitive and wash your hands after handling damaged roots. If an animal eats the plant or develops symptoms, promptly contact a veterinarian or an animal poison-control service. Viking XL seeds are intended solely for ornamental growing and must never be eaten.
