Almost all plant have point at the end of their leaves called the drip tip.drip tips channel water off of leaves to keep them from rooting and they help direct water to the ground where it can be
absorbed by the roots.most plants have leaves with points at the end, but not all plant are sharply pointed or threatening because the shape of their leaves, for the most part, soft and rounded.
Example of spiked plants include yuca flax, aloe Vera,cactus and holly. Softer plant include ficus boxwood,pittosporum and most flowering plants, feel free to use your own jugment when deciding whether or not a plant feels sharp to you, and keep those plants away from
Your entrance or main door
