Flowering Plants that are Toxic
Indoor plants and flowers are grown to purify the air, provide additional oxygen, help people relax, and decorate homes.
However, it is important to note that not all plants and flowers should be grown indoors. In nature, there are many plants that are toxic. They may have beautiful flowers but can be highly toxic. Accidentally touching or ingesting these toxins can have a negative impact on human health.
Some familiar poisonous plants include lucky bamboo, oleander, yellow daffodils, orchids, etc. They have different levels of toxicity, but all pose a potential risk to humans.
If you have children or pets at home, it is important to carefully consider whether to grow these toxic plants.
Flowers with Pollen Allergies
In reality, many people experience allergies to pollen. Therefore, when growing flowers indoors, it is important to consider this issue.
Some flowers may look beautiful but contain a lot of pollen. If you choose to grow these flowers, it is not advisable to grow them indoors. If you do decide to grow them indoors, limit the number to 1-2 small plants. The same applies to fresh flowers, avoid having a large quantity if they are pollen-rich. Excessive pollen can affect even those who are not allergic to it.
Thorny Indoor Plants and Flowers
There are many plants and flowers that have sharp leaves and thorns, such as cacti, crown of thorns, roses, etc.
If you only have a few small plants that are placed in low-traffic areas, it won’t have much impact on everyday activities. However, if you have a large number of plants or larger plants that are placed in high-traffic areas, the sharp thorns can cause injuries, especially to children.
Strong-Scented Flowers
Some flowers and plants have strong fragrances. While they can be pleasant, having a large quantity of them in a closed room can make people feel uncomfortable.
Additionally, there are some flowers and plants with unpleasant odors, such as corpse lily, durian flowers, carrion flowers, etc. It is best to avoid growing them indoors to prevent discomfort.
