Behind the beauty of this enchanting succulent is a sap that has been proven to be toxic to both humans and pets. When consumed, side effects like rashes, itching, or other forms of skin irritation have been recorded. In others, vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms have also been noticed. Some of this discomfort can be noticed when an animal consumes it too. This is why it is advised that you put a can on gloves when pruning or touching the plant and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
