Curious hands love dirt. Here is how to keep them safe.
1. Elevate
Move plants out of reach. Use wall mounts, macrame hangers, or high shelves.
2. Lock Up Supplies
Fertilizers and pest treatments look like juice or candy. Store them in a locked high cabinet, never under the sink.
3. Avoid Toxicity
Some common plants (Dieffenbachia, Philodendron) contain calcium oxalate crystals which burn the mouth. Know what you grow.
