An interesting fact is that this plant is also called ‘Dumb Cane’ because the plant contains a substance called Raphides that acts as a defence mechanism against animals and when ingested, can temporarily numb vocal cords along with burning the throat. This is why care should be taken when cutting or propagating the plants.
