5. varigated philadandrian

Are these plants poisionous??
Yes if you digest and eat them of course.
Reply:The vetrenarians assoc. says any plant thats not an herb is poisonous in one way or another. If you want to keep house pets out of houseplants just sprinkle a little cayenne pepper around the base of the plant. They will smell it and leave it alone. If it hurt your pets I wouldnt tell you to do this (Im a pet owner/lover)


Cheers!
Reply:Not necessarily poisonous but they certainly won't do you any good and more than likely will make you sick.
Reply:5. varigated philodandren, is poisonious to animals, mainly cats. the others are not, as far as i know, and thats coming from about 4 years of botany experience
Reply:yea i think so
Reply:Here is a site with a list of toxic and non-toxic plants for house pets... I figured you'd want to see written proof to ease your mind.
