The whole plant is poisonous (especially the sap). If a person eats it, or sap gets in the eye, it injures. If a cat or dog chews it, the mouth swells and hurts. Think twice if you have children or pets.

Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright, out of midday sun
- It likes moisture. When the top of the soil is dry, water it through.
Day to day
- When the air is humid, the leaf tips drip. That's why it's called the dripping goddess. That water is poisonous too. Don't let children or pets lick it.
- When an old leaf yellows, cut it off at the base. Wear gloves when you prune.
- In winter, water less and keep it above 10°C
Common questions
The leaves are yellow?
Old leaves at the bottom yellowing is normal. New leaves turning yellow is usually too much water, or it's too cold.
