Start baby proofing! These are the 17 worst hazards in the home for kids

House plants can liven up your interiors and bring a touch of the outdoors into overly sanitized modern homes. However, they're generally not meant to be touched or ingested, and some can cause significant symptoms in babies and pets who explore the world with their mouths and don't know better. Common indoor plants of concern include pothos, philodendrons, poinsettia, and peace lilies.

TIP: Swap out poisonous plant varieties for non-toxic ones like the areca palm, prayer plant, and dracaena.
