# Hi guys! Recently my uncle gave me an Cubanelle (sweet pepper) plant…

_Posted by Vicky on 2024-06-26_

Hi guys! Recently my uncle gave me an Cubanelle (sweet pepper) plant and at the time I was unaware that this plant is poisonous to humans and animals. I really want to keep the pepper plant but I also don’t want to get me or my fur babies sick, what is the best thing to do?

Is there somewhere that you can put it that is inaccessible to your pets? Or block it off? Dryer sheets tied around the plant if they are scented can also act as deterrent.
