Innocently beautiful and yet highly toxic
The room calla really is so poisonous
A room calla should not be placed on the windowsill directly above a heater, as the swamp meadow plant tolerates such a dry-warm location similar to the dragon tree only very badly. In addition, a room calla for infants and pets should be placed out of reach, as this plant is really poisonous.
Beauty and terrible danger can be close to each other
With relatively simple care Zimmercalla ensures perennial flowers in the room. However, it should never be overlooked that the plant juice present in all parts of the plant can be extremely toxic to humans and animals. The venom of a room calla can cause severe symptoms of poisoning of the central nervous system when absorbed into the body. This can lead to the following effects depending on the respective concentration:
Even without cutting, plant juice can escape
Due to the contained poison care measures should always be performed on the Zimmercalla only with protective gloves. The Zimmercalla also tends to excrete excess water temporarily by secretions at the tips of the leaves. Therefore, you should always keep this in mind and set up the room calla so that cats and toddlers in no case can come into contact with the plant juice.
Tips
Since the mere skin contact with the sap may cause skin irritation such as nettle fever, any drops of plant juice should always be wiped up and removed immediately.
