Spiderwort is only slightly poisonous
Toxicity: Slightly toxic
A member of the colleminae family, this popular houseplant is considered mildly poisonous. For this reason it is largely harmless. But you shouldn't push your luck.
If you have children or pets, you should note the following:
- don't put it on the table
- Choose a location that is out of range, e.g. B. hang up as a traffic light
- Cut away old plant parts before they fall off
- keep an eye out when repotting
- wash hands after contact with the sap

You should also keep an eye on the planted spiderworts if you have young dogs or cats running loose. Due to a lack of experience, they like to nibble on unfamiliar plants.
