Hoping this is safe for my torts. Someone in the neighborhood just brought it by. It's a pretty massive sized plant. Took 2 of us to unload it.

I have some growing in my torts enclosure. They nibble on new growth every now and then. It's used as herbal medicine in some parts of the world as well.

It was free so either way I'm not disappointed

If it gets any watering, it will spread and spread. I bought a tiny $0.99 one from Walmart years ago and it's been separated and gifted to many people since. The flower stem grows very tall and has pretty flowers.

I plan on separating it this weekend into several pots

It grows like crazy here. Folks use it for sun burns and stomach issues, etc.
However, my tortoises don't care for it.

It's very bitter, to me anyway. I think I prefer cactus. So do the tortoises (my redfoots).

Mine have eaten it so far, but I mix it into the greens and Mazuri. We actually went and got 2 more plants from them. lol

It is tortoise safe as an enclosure plant, and is tortoise safe as a food item.
