Nola Baker-Ramirez on Sep 20, 2016Thank y'all so much! Even though it's a nice tropical looking plant, after reading how poisonous it is, I think I'll get rid of it. :( How disappointing, but with kids and animals in the neighborhood, it seems the only safe thing to do. Thank y'all again!Helpful Reply
