Although these might be safe, they are not a normal diet for tortoises. I would not feed most indoor plants to my tortoises. Certainly not the ones above.
Aloe Vera is safe and can be eaten, but if fed too much can give them the runs.
Large pad cacti are also ok, but be careful of spikes.
Just because they are safe, does not mean they will or should be fed to tortoises.
I think on the tortoise table it will say if they leaves and flowers are safe to eat.
Indoor campanula are safe to eat too.
