Gardeners choose carefully which plants they want to grow on their lawns. Whether you want hedges to line your house, flowers for a flower box, or vegetables to eat, it\u2019s important to make informed decisions. However, some people choose to grow the wrong plants because they simply don\u2019t understand the dangers. In many situations, the dangers are conditional; a plant might be hazardous to dogs but not to humans, for example. In that case, anyone with a pet or with neighbors\u2019 pets who come through their yards shouldn\u2019t grow that plant. In other situations, a plant might be beautiful but it might be the kind of plant that can take over your entire garden.<\/p>\n
Here are five types of garden plants you should never grow and one that requires special care.<\/p>\n
Aloe vera is known mostly for being the active ingredient in many kinds of lotions and sunburn ointments. Aloe vera is a succulent, which means that it\u2019s similar to a cactus. The plant produces an oil that can soothe burned skin; however, it also produces a natural form of latex just under the skin. That latex is a lot like the latex used in rubber gloves. So, you can imagine what might happen to a pet who eats that plant.<\/p>\n
If a dog or cat eats aloe vera, the plant can cause extreme gastrointestinal distress. It can lead to cramping and very unfortunate bowel problems. For these reasons, aloe vera should only be grown out of reach of pets. If done carefully, aloe vera can be a beautiful plant that soothes burned skin. Just don\u2019t let your dog get it.<\/p>\n
