You can safely grow a date palm in the apartment. It is one of the non-toxic ornamental plants. Since date palms are not poisonous, you can take care of them even if there are children and pets in the family.
While real dates are edible, the fruits of the indoor date palm are not edible
The date palm is not poisonous
Date palms contain no toxins, making them ideal houseplants. Even if the cat or dog nibbles on the plant, there is no risk of poisoning.
However, the pointed leaves and stems can injure the skin. You should therefore only set up a date palm where small children and pets cannot reach them.
The fruits are inedible
Date palms grown as houseplants rarely develop fruit. These are yellow gold and smaller than regular dates.
The fruits are not poisonous but still not edible because they have a very tart taste.
tips
Date palms are relatively easy to care for. They need a place that is as sunny as possible and like to spend the summer outdoors.
