#Coleus
1-For Humans: Coleus is considered mildly toxic to humans. While it is rarely life-threatening, ingesting the leaves or stems can cause unpleasant gastrointestinal distress, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Additionally, the sap can cause mild skin irritation (contact dermatitis) in sensitive individuals.
2-For Pets: Coleus is highly toxic to dogs, cats, and other animals. The ASPCA lists it as toxic because of its essential oils. If a pet chews on or ingests any part of this plant, it can lead to:
Vomiting and diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
Lethargy and depression
Loss of appetite
Skin or mouth irritation from physical contact
