Hello,
I bought these plants thinking they they would look pretty in my tortoises enclosure, the only problem is it doesn't specify what they are. I'm not very good at plant names, and just wanted to know what they are, and if they are safe for Pebble.

The variegated plant in the front is Boston ivy. Most sites say this is poisonous. The palm is Neantha Bella and it's safe. I can't see the flowering plant well enough to know what it is, but if it's kalanchoe, it's not safe.

Agree with Yvonne on the ID's, including the kalanchoe ID. Probably a mass marketing of grouped plants for the holiday season, which would probably include lots of fertilizer, pesticides, insecticides and other non-healthy additives that are all not good for torts. I would recommend thst you not include these in your set up.
