Is a gardenia plant poison to cats if indoors?

Question

Since we moved from Florida, where it could be out doors all year long, we now live in Pennsylvania so it must come in doors for the winter and we have 2 cats. Also, is the umbrella plant poisonous to cats? Thank you for your help. Eleanor

Answer 1

They are both mildly toxic if ingested. By umbrella tree, did you mean scheffelera? Here is more information:
