Be careful if you have this plant at home - never let children touch it

Poinsettia. Poinsettias are often seen in parks, where you see only the flowers and not the leaves. If you grow a poinsettia at home, then you need to be careful, because the stems, leaves, and even the sap inside are toxic. If children touch it, they will develop skin allergies, and if they accidentally swallow it, they will experience vomiting, diarrhea, and so on.

Dumb cane (Dieffenbachia). Dumb cane leaves are thick and large, and whether grown in soil or water, it is very easy. But if there are children at home, you must be careful and not let children touch it, because the leaves, stems, flowers, and fruit of dumb cane, even the water droplets on the leaves, must not be touched. Touching them will cause poisoning - in mild cases itching and pain, and if it gets into the eyes, it can cause blindness.

Lucky bamboo (Dracaena). There are many kinds of lucky bamboo, and among them, the spotted dumb cane (Dieffenbachia picta) is toxic. The poison is the sap inside the stems and leaves. If children touch the sap, they will develop skin allergies, and if they accidentally swallow it, they will experience throat swelling and pain, and in severe cases become mute. A plant like this should not be kept at home.
