Dieffenbachia is a Poisonous Plant
Hi Judy, I was just given a dieffenbachia as a birthday present from the people in my office. It is a beautiful plant but I have 2 toddlers at home. Is this a poisonous plant? Should I just keep it in my office at work? Thank you.
Hi Molly,
A dieffenbachia is a very poisonous houseplant and should be kept away from small children and pets! You can read all my care tips for a dieffenbachia in the Popular Houseplant section of the website.
