Are Aglaonemia toxic?
|
From: "Windy Aubrey" <exotics at hawaii.rr.com> on 2008.09.28 at 23:11:43(18588)
Hi,
I wanted to bring an Aglaonemia into the house, but didn't know if it is a toxic plant or not.
I have house cats and wondered if it were like a Dieffenbachia if one were to chew on it?
I couldn't find anything online, so I am wondering if someone out there could help me, if they know.
Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help.
Windy

Dear Windy,
Aglaonema has no toxic sap as found in Dieffenbachia. You can use the plant
without any worry on it poison.

To my knowledge, all Araceae have the calcium oxalate
crystals. The only question is whether Aglaonema has as
high a concentration as Deiffenbachia. Even edible taro has
to be cooked in a certain way to make it edible.

Of course, don't try eating the plant.
