Daffodil
Narcissus
Toxic to cats and dogs
Spring bulbs, often forced indoors in pots. Keep them cool and bright while in bud — warmth makes them stretch and flop.
Toxicity
Toxic Can be serious
Signs, in the ASPCA's words
Vomiting, salvation, diarrhea; large ingestions cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias. Bulbs are the most poisonous part.

Pet-safety information is a general guide from the ASPCA's toxic-plant database and covers cats and dogs only. "If eaten" summarises the symptoms ASPCA lists for that plant; how an animal actually reacts depends on how much it ate and on the animal. It isn't exhaustive, isn't veterinary advice, and individual animals vary — never rely on it as the sole basis for a decision about your pet. If you think your pet has eaten a harmful plant, contact a vet immediately.

The same interval the Sabz app schedules reminders from. In autumn and winter the app stretches it; see houseplants in autumn.
Common problems
- Long floppy leaves, few flowers — too warm and too dark indoors
- Buds that never open — the bulbs dried out during forcing
- Nothing the following year — leaves were cut back too early

In the app
Add a daffodil to Sabz and the watering interval above becomes a reminder, the toxicity verdict sits on the plant's own page, and when a leaf turns, the Check-up reads what you have actually logged to say why.
