Which succulents are toxic
This article provides an introduction to which succulents are toxic and a presentation of the most common toxic succulents for green plant cultivation, with specific content as follows:
There are many types of succulents, and most of the succulents that are cared for are non-toxic, but a small part of them contain toxic sap. In fact, caring for succulents is for ornamental purposes only, not for consumption.
So, as long as you don't eat it or frequently touch its toxic sap, it's not a problem. The sap of some may cause slight redness and swelling when it comes into contact with your skin, but it's not as alarming as people say.
So, which commonly kept succulents are toxic?
First, Euphorbia tirucalli
Euphorbia tirucalli, also known as the pencil tree, is very popular among succulent enthusiasts. Its sap is toxic and is said to be potentially carcinogenic, so when caring for Euphorbia tirucalli, it's best not to touch its sap.
Second, Euphorbia obesa
Many people usually care for Euphorbia obesa, and most know it is toxic, but it is generally considered safe to care for. Its sap can cause some redness and swelling if it comes into contact with your skin, but as long as you don't eat it, there won't be serious consequences.
Third, Crassula arborescens
Crassula arborescens is a very common and ordinary green plant, but its sap contains a slight toxicity. However, there has never been a case of poisoning reported when caring for Crassula arborescens, so its toxicity can be considered negligible.
Fourth, Euphorbia milii
Euphorbia milii belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family of succulents, with a relatively thick stem that, when cut, also exudes a white sap that is toxic. It has properties similar to Euphorbia obesa, and as long as you don't eat it, there is no harm.
