Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions
BRIEF: Could you tell me if Peace Lily is poisonous?
QUESTION:
I have a cat and am concerned that a plant we
received might be poisonous. I am unable to find information regarding
whether it is or not. Could you, would you be kind enough to provide
that information? The plant is commonly known as a peace lily or
spathiphyllum. Thank you for your assistance.
ANSWER:
I would expect the cat's mouth to be irritated locally or even swollen a bit if
he/she chewed on the peace lily, but nothing fatal has ever been reported and I
doubt your cat would try it twice...
