The lovely philodendron is one of the most popular house plants, and it's also one of the easiest to grow. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic to humans and animals, and is often the perfect complement to any room.
There are two types of philodendrons: vining and non-vining. Vining plants should be hung far out of sight of children and livestock, and tendrils and leaves should be cut regularly. Plants that do not produce vines should be kept on high window sills or shelves.
Ingestion of philodendron causes only minor side effects in humans, including in young children, such as dermatitis and narrowing of the mouth and digestive tract. There have been deaths in infants in extreme circumstances or after ingesting significant quantities.
