POISONOUS PLANT: DIEFFENBACHIA

clip_image001

 

This is a very popular indoor plant that we have in our homes and offices.
It is a deadly poison, mainly for the children.

True to the first three letters of its name, it can kill a kid in less than a minute and an adult in 15 minutes. It should be uprooted from pots and gardens and buried safely. If touched, one should never touch ones eyes; it can cause partial or permanent blindness.
