Lesson learned

[moonwise]

Biscuit likes to munch on the white flower buds that sprout from our peace lily. This upsets my husband, because he likes the peace lily's flowers and Biscuit eats them before they can bloom. I suggested that he try putting some deer netting over the plant, which worked, but not for the right reason. The deer netting was supposed to keep her from getting to the plant. She just pulled the netting off and decided it was the BEST TOY EVAR.

Part of the concern with peace lilies is that long term they can cause bladder stones. Just because you haven't seen any ill effects so far doesn't mean there won't ever be. I have no information on the relative toxicity on the different parts of the plant, but I would recommend not taking the risk.

Right, the oxalic acid. Gotcha. I'll talk to my husband about what he'd like to do with the lily.
