Re: We need a trillion more indoor plants.

pollen from indoor plants,


Yeah, my basil leaves drive me crazy with indoor pollen. I have to step outside and take a deep breath of smog/pine pollen/ragweed pollen/multiple species of spores/thousands of bacteria/viruses/whatever else is floating around at the moment, and then my nose stops bothering me. I can't even stand being in my house anymore. The pollen is outrageous! I keep dousing the plants with bleach and engine degreaser, but the pollen still remains...

* Health & Safety Issue: Indoor plants though beautiful can prove fatal in some cases as some species are deadly poisonous and intake of such plant leaves or flowers may lead to death e.g. philodendron and some species of ivy are poisonous.

There are certain plant types that are deadly for cats and there are others that are dangerous for well being of dogs. Bird of Paradise, Pencil Cactus, Peace Lilly, Geranium, Iris Ivy, Lily of the Valley (Lilies are usually hazardous to cats’ health) and Tulips are examples of plants that a cat lover should never think to plant in his home.

Alumroot, American rubber plant, Anthericum comosum, Antirrhinum multiflorum, Mexican firecracker, Mexican snowballs, Mexican rosettes, Minature maranta, Minature marble plant are fine examples of plants that are non-toxic in nature.


You should have posted these in the jokes thread.

Everyone knows cats love birds. That's why you have to make sure you never have an indoor Bird of Paradise. Cats will eat them. They will die. Plants are dangerous to cats.

What ever happened to survival of the fittest and natural selection? The kid that eats too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
