Is it suitable to place hydrangeas indoors in winter?
For many girls, the question of whether hydrangeas are suitable for indoor placement in winter and the introduction to the best methods for adjusting the blue color of green plants and flowers will certainly help you. Let's learn about it together!
Hydrangeas begin to bloom successively, and flower lovers must check on them several times a day, making their mood beautiful. Hydrangeas are the main summer flowers, with large and colorful blooms that are truly high in appearance. But when we are growing hydrangeas, we need to consider whether they have an impact on our health. Although hydrangeas are nice, do not place them indoors in three situations, otherwise they can be "harmful," so don't ignore the advice.
Do not place hydrangeas in the bedroom when they enter the blooming stage
If hydrangeas do not have flower buds or have small flower buds and the petals have not opened yet, they can be placed in the bedroom for care. When hydrangeas have entered the blooming stage, it is best not to place them in the bedroom and should be moved outdoors for care. Especially do not place blooming hydrangeas in the bedroom, otherwise they can be "harmful," so don't ignore the advice. If there are no outdoor conditions, when hydrangeas enter the blooming stage, we can place them on a well-ventilated balcony or near a window that family members seldom visit.
The reason is that when hydrangeas are blooming, there will be a lot of pollen. The longer the flowers are in full bloom, the richer the pollen. Placing blooming hydrangeas in the bedroom, as air circulates, pollen will enter the air and then be inhaled into our bodies or come into contact with our bodies, causing some discomfort. Additionally, the entire hydrangea plant is toxic, with the toxins mainly present in the sap. If family members accidentally ingest or get the sap on their skin, there is a certain safety risk.
Some flower friends might say, "Hydrangeas have a lot of pollen? I haven't noticed." The petals that initially open on hydrangeas are not true petals but sepals. After they have bloomed for a while, the flowers in the center of the sepals open, and then pollen appears, and there is a lot of it (similar to bougainvillea). Sometimes, when the wind blows, the pollen from the hydrangeas is blown onto the leaves, creating a white layer.
Do not place hydrangeas indoors if you have pets or children who don't understand
As mentioned earlier, the entire hydrangea plant is toxic and can cause poisoning if ingested. Of course, a normal person would not eat a hydrangea, but if there are pets or children who don't understand, they might ingest the hydrangea, causing unnecessary trouble. A flower friend once said that she had a puppy that loved to chew on her plants. One day, when she came home from work, she found that the puppy had chewed a pot of hydrangeas to pieces. She was worried sick that the puppy might have ingested it and poisoned itself. She quickly took it to the vet, and it turned out to be fine, probably just playing and not actually eating it. After that, she dare not keep any toxic plants, as it left a psychological scar.
Therefore, if you have mischievous pets or children who don't understand, it's best not to place hydrangeas where they can reach. If you want to keep hydrangeas at home, you can place them in a high, well-ventilated area, which will help the hydrangeas grow and prevent pets or children from ingesting them and getting poisoned. Never casually place hydrangeas on the ground; you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident, so don't be too complacent.

Seeing this, some flower friends might say, "Hydrangeas are toxic, can we not keep them?" Of course not, the poison in hydrangeas is in the sap, so just looking at them is fine, don't be panic-stricken. However, since the sap of hydrangeas is toxic, we need to take protective measures when pruning to avoid getting sap on our skin. Additionally, although the entire hydrangea plant is toxic, its toxicity is not too strong and is not as scary as imagined.
Do not place blooming hydrangeas indoors if there are patients at home
If there are patients at home, try not to keep hydrangeas indoors, whether in the bedroom, living room, or enclosed balcony. If there is an open balcony or a window sill that can often be opened, it is fine to keep hydrangeas. The main reason is that hydrangeas have abundant pollen, which may make patients feel uncomfortable or worsen their condition. Especially for patients with respiratory diseases, they should not be exposed to blooming hydrangeas, as it will only do harm and no good.
A flower friend said that she once kept several pots of hydrangeas on a closed balcony, and they bloomed beautifully. Her child had been coughing for a period, and she couldn't find the reason for the cough. Later, after checking for allergens, it was said to be pollen allergy, and she suddenly thought of the hydrangeas on the balcony and realized that they might have caused the child's cough. Then she reluctantly gave away all the hydrangeas, and the child's cough gradually got better.
Patients, the elderly, pregnant women, and children have weaker resistance, and being in a pollen-rich environment for a long time can be "harmful." So, don't let a few pots of hydrangeas affect the health of your family. If there are the above groups of people at home and the indoor ventilation conditions are not good, keeping hydrangeas must be considered carefully.
Although hydrangeas are nice, do not place them indoors in the aforementioned three situations, otherwise they can be "harmful!" To keep hydrangeas well without affecting the health of the family, it is best to keep them in a well-ventilated environment. In a well-ventilated environment, hydrangeas grow well, have a longer blooming period, and look even more beautiful! Therefore, hydrangeas are very suitable for ground planting; if you have a garden, don't miss it! If there are no outdoor conditions, during the blooming period of hydrangeas, it is necessary to keep the doors and windows open often.
The above is about whether hydrangeas are suitable for indoor placement in winter and some experience in adjusting the blue color of green plants and flowers, hoping to bring help to your life!
