Poinsettias?
Actually, poinsettias are not poisonous to humans or animals. It was an urban legand in 1919 and has stayed with us all this time. The websites I have listed give some great detail into the history of the poinsettia.



As to how to get your pet to stop eating it...fill a water bottle up and squirt your pet in the rear when they go near it. Or fill a can full of beans or pennies and tape it shut. Everytime they go near it, shake it. Scares them so they won't go near it.
Reply:i heard that they are poisonous to animals

try putting them up higher, or squirting them with water every time they try to eat them
Reply:Keep them out of the room with the cats or dogs. check the local pet store, sometimes they have sprays to spray plants... so that the pet will stay away from it... a scent of some sort, i think it was.
Reply:The poinsettias and the Easter lily are so deadly to cats that take even a small piece of leaf that I just wouldn't have them in my house.



The two most poisonous of plants that can affect your cat.
Reply:Don't have them in the house, or have them high up. They are poisonous to cats.
Reply:keep the poinsettias in a room with the door closed...the are POISONOUS to cats and dogs
Reply:i don't know none of my pets eat them! but i think if you just keep them out of reach that should probably solve the problem.
Reply:what is that?
Reply:YES-put them where the pet can't get to them OR get some chicken wire from the hardware store , put the two ends together to make a roll taller than the plant and enclose the plant in it you can close with ties or the very short bungee ropes. You can still water and care for the plant and still can be seen in all its beauty.
Reply:Put them out of reach of them.
Reply:You could eaither stop keeping pointsettias in your place; or if you do choose to have them, put them in a place where the pet won't be able to get to them while you're away; or say in a loud, direct way "NO!" when you see your pet near the pointsettia.
