Poisonous House Plants |
House plants can be very beneficial in
our homes and lives. House plants can not only purify and renew our stale indoor air, by
exchanging the carbon dioxide we exhale with life
sustaining oxygen, but they can also trap many of the pollutants present in our
homes and offices.
Many of our most popular house plants come from tropical climates where they have adapted to low light levels, making them suitablefor the lighting conditions typical in the average home. However many tropical plants also contain compounds that can have adverse reactions in people, pets and livestock. If you have any of the house plants listed below you should find out how dangerous they are, and if the risk they pose to your children or pets is worth keeping them. Aloe barbadensis
