Dr. Russell Sharp closes out Hydroponics Daily’s 2025 run with a compact guide to the most toxic plants. He explains why “natural” or “plant‑derived” doesn’t mean safe and shares examples of species that can cause severe harm. The episode lists the top poisonous plants to watch for, such as hemlock, giant hogweed, deadly nightshade, Brugmansia, monk’s hood, yew, oleander, castor bean, water hemlock and foxglove, plus practical safety warnings for growers and gardeners. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/ Tony Knight — Colorado State UniversityRichard Walter — Colorado State UniversityJames Pfister — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryBryan Stegelmeier — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryMichael Ralphs — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryDale Gardner — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryKip Panter — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryBenedict Green — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryKermit Price — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research LaboratoryClinton Stonecipher — USDA-ARS Poisonous Plant Research Laboratory Kevin D.
