Are all bonsai plants poisonous?

Not all bonsai plants are poisonous. The toxicity of a plant depends on its species and the specific chemicals it contains. While some plants commonly used for bonsai, such as the jade tree (Crassula ovata), Fukien tea tree (Carmona retusa), or Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), are not toxic, others like the azalea (Rhododendron spp.), yew (Taxus spp.), or wisteria (Wisteria spp.) can be toxic if ingested. It is crucial to research and identify the specific plant species used in bonsai cultivation to ensure the safety of both the plant and the people or pets around it.
