Hello. I was given 2 plants with a few small side accent plants yesterday and I like them and want to keep them but need to know if they are safe to have around my children. I tried to ID them on the internet but do not know the terms involved. I will attach some pictures. I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can provide or even a direction to an easier to use way to ID these plants. The one looks kind of like a palm tree. Thank you very much.
The smaller plant on the sife with many long linear leaves is a chamaedorea, most likely C. elegans I have no idea if it is dangerous, have never heard it as being so, but you can find that online. The third broadleaf plant we will need a better image of to identify Hope that helps
Thank you very much to all of you for your time and expertise by identifying these houseplants for me!! I bought them some nice new pots and cactus soil and hopefully they will be with us for a long time : ) I really appreciate that very much. Thanks again to all of you. This is a very interesting and helpful forum.
