6. English Ivy

English ivy is a popular vine. It looks lovely when you grow it on a trellis, so why should one not have it in their house? English ivy can brighten up your home and add so much charm to a room, but these are plants you should never keep in the bedroom. The living room is fine, but not the bedroom.

Sadly, this houseplant can be mildly poisonous to both humans and animals. Some people develop dermatitis after coming into contact with English ivy. That’s because its leaves contain sapogenin and polyacetylene chemicals, both natural steroids that irritate the mucous membranes and skin.
