The pothos plant is a much-beloved choice for indoor decor, with its flowing vines and glossy leaves. However, according to the ASPCA, this plant also harbors a potentially dangerous secret – tiny crystals composed of calcium oxalate.
Although beautiful, this plant can be harmful if touched or consumed. This is because all parts of the plant (leaves and stem) contain calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if they come in contact with the skin or mouth.
Good news for cat owners – simply walking past, smelling, or rubbing against the pothos plant won’t harm your furry friend! However, it could spell trouble if your curious kitty nibbles on any part of the plant.
Yes. Pothos plants are toxic to dogs. But wait to throw out those houseplants. If your dog has helped itself to a snack from your pothos plant, you might notice some worrisome symptoms like vomiting, excessive drooling, and difficulty swallowing.
