I know roots are a risk of them getting tangled in but I'm sore of preventing that from happening with corkbark trust me. Just wondering if its poisonous to t's or inst good for them.

Thankyou very much for letting me know il be sure to flush it thoroughly and replant it in a fertilizer free substrate before introducing it to my enclosureThere are very mixed views on live plants with tarantulas.
As for if this specific plant species is toxic, the answer to the best of my knowledge is no. HOWEVER , if you're getting it from a garden centres, hardware store, grocery store, it could (and likely does) come with pesticides on it. You'll need to thoroughly wash it before use.
The "washing" protocol that I follow is: remove ALL traces of the old dirt, soak the plant in cool water for 10 minutes, make a 10% bleach mixtures (1 part bleach, 9 parts water), and soak for another 10 minutes, and then rinse thoroughlyThankyou very much for letting me know il be sure to flush it thoroughly and replant it in a fertilizer free substrate before introducing it to my enclosure
One note on this, from me: there's nothing you can do to prevent a tarantula from digging up the plant roots of it decides it wants to. They are wonderful at finding ways to change our plansI know roots are a risk of them getting tangled in but I'm sore of preventing that from happening with corkbark trust me.
