Babies are naturally curious and can get into everything. Plants are no exception. There are some common house plants that can be dangerous to babies and to pets. The first is dieffenbachia, a plant with dark oblong leaves that can cause mouth, lip and throat swelling and burning.

Another is a philodendron, a common indoor plant. It is highly poisonous and can then lead to kidney failure and death.

A caladium has arrow-shaped leaves and can produce small white flowers and small berry fruit. Eating any part of the pant can cause severe stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea and burning of the throat. It can be fatal. T

he English Ivy is an evergreen vine that is used inside and outside. Eating the plant can cause stomach pains, diarrhea, shortness of breath and possible coma. A Jerusalem Cherry produces orange or red berries that are more poisonous than the main plant leaves and flowers. Eating just a few berries can kill a child.

These are the most common poisonous plants you’ll find but you should ask the poison control or a florist whenever buying a plant and try not to have any plant out there where your baby could get into it. Even the fertilizer in the soil can be problematic.
