Interesting comments - I think I will keep the 2 cuttings in water inside for the winter and use containers in the spring after consulting with my DIL to be sure she does not object (her house). You are right about teaching the children - we do it for most other things and they are old enough to understand if it is explained to them that this plant will make them very sick, so just look and do not touch. They tend to be reasonable and responsible when a situation is explained so that they understand. I like the idea of new cuttings each spring. I'll let you know what happens in the months ahead. Thanks again.
