Living plants may be valuable additions to science classrooms. Which is the most important safety consideration when planning to grow plants in a classroom?

The most important safety consideration is whether the plants themselves have harmful structures or chemicals. Some plants can be poisonous, irritate skin, or have thorns that could injure students. Light, nutrients, and soil matter for healthy growth, but they are not as important as making sure the plants are safe to handle.
