English Ivy

This is another plant to look out for if you’re searching for which indoor plants you should stay away from. This alluring variety of Ivy grows effortlessly from its container and adorns many homes across our country because it’s a popular choice as an indoor plant.

A not-so-well-known fact is that the English Ivy plant can sometimes cause skin infections. This can result in severe rashes, itchiness, or even the appearance of blisters on the skin of humans.

If consumed by pets or small children, the Ivy can prove to be toxic, and in effect, it can produce respiratory issues and paralysis. In some extreme cases, it can even lead to a coma.
