Should I have these plants in my house?

I have recently purchased two house plants ;English Ivy and Rhoeo plant ( Moses in the boat)) in addition to that I have two other plants a spathphyllum peace lily, and a tropical foilage plant and i was wondering is it dangerous to have these plants in my house? I know that some of them are posionous if eaten i don't plan on eating them, but are they still dangerous to have around ? I also have a little toddler around. I've been having a little abdomen and head pain can these plants be the problem?

english ivy is poisonous, but only if eaten in very large doses. What kind of tropical plant do you have? if its a defenbachia or philodendron, they are poisonous, but again, only if eaten in large amounts. Ive never heard of anyone developing symptoms like yours from exposure to these plants. there are plants that can cause an allergic skin reaction if you touch their leaves or get their sap on your skin, but none of the plants you mentioned fits that category. its doubtful that the toddler would bother with the plants and even if he did, i doubt he would eat enough to cause serious harm as most poisonous plants taste horrible. If your toddler is the type that is very inquisitive and puts absolutely everything in his mouth, then you might do well to get rid of the ivy(just to be on the safe side) and find out what kind of tropical plant you have. I wouldnt have a philodendron or defenbachia around if I had toddlers, just for my own peace of mind. before you bring any plant into a house with toddlers, you should google the name of the plant--there will be info that will tell you if its poisonous. google the words"poisonous house plants" and you will find sites that list the most common ones.
Reply:The only poisonous part of English Ivy is the berry. I have never seen ivy produce berries indoors so you won't have a problem there. No house plant will make you sick just by breathing in the same room. You would actually have to eat or chew on it's leaves. I'm not familiar with Rhoeo, however, if you have any doubts about any of your plants around the toddler, just place the plants out of the childs reach.
Reply:They are all fine, standard house plants found in most homes. Stop worrying, they help your indoor environment, not harm it by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and releasing pure oxygen into your rooms. The more plants the better!
Reply:poison control is always happy to answer these questions for you. the 800 # is usually located in the front of your phone book. if they can't help, take leaf from each plant, bagged separately, to a local nursery or plant club and see what you see!

my experience, i have had as many as 6 House cats at once+daycare, most House plants are not as dangerous as you think. you would only experience Physical symptoms from plants flowers or ingesting them. "dumb cane" only impedes the vocal cords, makes you or you pet loose the voice.

but always, esspecially with a child in the house, do your research! If you feel unsafe with the plant(s) in your house find someone to take them.
