Some people cultivate flowers not for their ease of care but because they are sufficiently beautiful and fragrant. However, many flowers with strong scents are not as pleasant as people imagine, and they can be harmful to human health.
People who value health will not keep "fragrant flowers" on a closed balcony, no matter how pleasant the scent is, the harm is not insignificant. For the sake of health, it is best to avoid the following three types of flowers.
I. Night-blooming Cestrum
Night-blooming Cestrum is a flower that emits a strong fragrance at night, making it a typical example of "the more it gets dark, the more fragrant it becomes." I often recommend to friends with gardens that they can grow a few Night-blooming Cestrum plants, but I never suggest keeping it on a closed balcony.
The fragrance of Night-blooming Cestrum is very refreshing when smelled from a distance outdoors, but if you get too close and inhale it for a long time, it can cause nausea, dizziness, and even vomiting, significantly reducing sleep quality! Avoid keeping Night-blooming Cestrum indoors for the health of your family!
II. Oleander
Oleander is particularly beautiful in appearance, making it easy for people to forget its dangerous signals. Every year during the blooming season, news warnings are issued against picking oleander, and over time, many people become leery of it.
In reality, there is no need to be overly nervous about outdoor oleanders as long as they are not picked. However, the fragrance of oleander in a tightly sealed room can be dangerous. If inhaled for too long, it can cause dizziness and a lack of energy throughout the day.
Moreover, all parts of oleander are toxic. If accidentally touched, the harm can be significant, especially in households with children!
III. Aglaia odorata
Aglaia odorata is a plant famous for its "strong fragrance" near and far. Although the flowers may look ordinary and not very large, the fragrance is unmistakable. I once received a pot of Aglaia odorata, but after keeping it for only one day, I gave it to a neighbor with a garden.
Because the fragrance of Aglaia odorata is so strong, if it is kept on a closed balcony, the concentration of the floral fragrance in the air will rapidly increase, causing nausea after a short while, and even when confined to a room at night, the fragrance can make it difficult to fall asleep, and it does not have a calming effect.
The three "fragrant flowers" mentioned today are best kept to a minimum for health reasons; otherwise, they can be harmful and provide no benefits! Have you ever kept any "fragrant flowers" at home?
