Some plants are poisonous or toxic, and they pose additional hazards as well.
Start by taking a careful look around your home to make sure you don't have any hanging plants or plants on top of furniture that your child might be able to reach. Parents frequently overlook dangling vines that, if pulled, could bring down a heavy pot. And don't overlook potted plants on tables that could fall if your child shakes the table. Here is a partial list of toxic and poisonous plants. If you need help identifying a particular plant, take a clipping to your local nursery for assistance.
