Poisonous House Plants: Partial Listing |
|
|
Many common plants in our landscape or homes are toxic, including cut flowers. What follows is a partial listing of the most common. The list does not distinguish between plants that cause serious rather than minor problems. Plants are often sprayed with insecticides and treated with fertilizers that may change their status from non-toxic to poisonous. Some dogs and cats eat plant materials because they are already feeling ill, thus the plant is not always the cause of the symptoms. In the face of any potential poisoning, please bring in or be able to identify the plant. Know what is in your home and in your yard. If you have a pet that tends to eat your greenery, throw out the poisonous plants. Having lilies in any form in a house with cats is flirting with disaster. You can find more about each of these plants by checking the National Animal Poision Control Center weblink.
