Christmas Plant Safety for Babies and Toddlers

Real Christmas trees are not poisonous. Poinsettias are non-toxic (old myth). However, these holiday plants ARE hazardous:

• Jerusalem cherry (Solanum pseudocapsicum) – orange/yellow fruits toxic.
• Paperwhite narcissus leaves – toxic.
• Red holly berries – mildly toxic.
• Houseplants: anthurium, caladium, dieffenbachia, philodendron – toxic leaves.

Keep toxic plants out of reach; enjoy the holidays safely.
