Keeping plants in your home is a nice way to brighten up any location. But are you aware of how safe or dangerous your plants really are?

A surprisingly large proportion of houseplants contain toxic compounds which protect them from being eaten.

In adults, these compounds can sometimes cause illness or irritation when handled, but the real concern is for the much more fragile metabolism of a child or animal.

With a rich 94 pages, this guide is likely the most thorough and comprehensive handbook to understanding the precautions and dangers associated with common plants we keep indoors.

It's a hidden danger, but it's there: what if your child or one of your pets ingests part of a houseplant?

This guide covers a vast catalog of the most common indoor plants and includes:

• An assessment of the risks related to each type of plant
• Details about the toxins or poisons involved
• Recommendations and precautions so you can enjoy your plants and stay safe
