Are My Plants Poisonous?
I recently bought a house and the previous owners left some plant behind. Because I have cats and children, I am afraid to misidentify these plants as I know some plants are poisonous. Could you help please?
Hi Shirley,
The first is a Chinese evergreen and it is a poisonous plant. The second is a cyclamen and it is also poisonous. You can read more about these plants in the Popular Houseplant section of the website.
The second plant is a beautiful flowering cyclamen plant.
You can learn more about common houseplants that are poisonous in Don’t Feed Me To Your Cat! A Guide to Poisonous Houseplants. It’s available in paperback and kindle format on Amazon.
