so i've been using indian almond leaves for quite awhile, and i just ran out of the bunch that i bought last year, so instead of buying more, i was wondering if there were any leaves i could use from around my neighborhood.
here in miami we have a ton of fruit trees, such as bananas, cashew apples, mangoes, loquat, and avocados. there are probably a few that i'm forgetting but that's most of them that i can remember. there are also a few almond trees too, which i would collect but they're all on private property and i feel like i would sound a little weird if i ask if i can just... you know casually take a trash bag full of these leaves on the floor.
so my question is, are any of these leaves safe to put in my tanks? i remember seeing someone on youtube use mango leaves but i got a lot of conflicting info online about them being poisonous which... i dunno i eat my weight in mangoes every summer and have never heard someone say something about them being poisonous.
