Editor's Note

Leaves, stems, and roots of Anthurium are poisonous. If ingested, the plant may cause mild stomach disorder. The plant sap can cause skin irritation.

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.
