Non-toxic Plants for Your Home | Facts

Saturday, February 19

Some people worry about their houseplants when you're trying to toddler-proof your home. One option is to keep them up far out of reach. If you're worried and prefer to keep nontoxic plants around, here are a few options.

Both jade and kalanchoes are considered nonpoisonous. They also both don't need much water, so they are pretty easy keepers. If you'd like an indoor tree, the Norfolk pine and the Madagascar dragon tree are two possibilities that are believed to be nontoxic. To round out your nontoxic, toddler-proof plant room, consider the corn plant and coleus. Yucca filamentosa is an outdoor plant that can also be grown as a houseplant.
