Editor's Note

Resources list Spathiphyllum leaves as poisonous if ingested.

The toxic principal, Calcium oxalate crystals, are reported as poisonous if large quantities are ingested. Burning of the lips, tongue, and throat have been documented when the leaves are consumed.

Contact with the sap can cause skin irritation lasting a few minutes.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents, and pet owners to look further for more information.
