Can hydrangeas be placed indoors?This article provides an introduction to whether hydrangeas can be placed indoors and the precautions for caring for hydrangeas as a houseplant. Below, the editor will provide a detailed explanation for you.Hydrangeas begin to enter the blooming period one after another. For flower enthusiasts who love them, do they check on them several times a day, feeling wonderful? Hydrangeas are the main flowers of summer, with large and colorful blooms that are truly stunning. However, when caring for hydrangeas, we need to consider whether they have any impact on our health. Although hydrangeas are beautiful, they should not be placed indoors in three situations, as it can be "harmful," so don't ignore the warning.Do not place hydrangeas in the bedroom when they enter the blooming periodHydrangeas without flower buds or with small flower buds that have not yet opened can be placed in the bedroom for care. Once hydrangeas have entered the blooming period, it is best not to place them in the bedroom and instead move them outdoors for care. Especially avoid placing blooming hydrangeas in the bedroom, as it can be "harmful," so don't ignore the warning. If there are no outdoor conditions, when hydrangeas enter the blooming period, we can place them in a well-ventilated balcony or near a window that family members rarely use.The reason is that during blooming, hydrangeas produce a lot of pollen. The longer the flowers are in bloom, the richer the pollen. Placing blooming hydrangeas in the bedroom, as air circulates, pollen enters the air and is inhaled or comes into contact with our bodies, causing some discomfort. Moreover, the entire plant of hydrangeas is toxic, with the toxin mainly present in the sap. If family members accidentally ingest or get the sap on their skin, there is a potential safety hazard.Some flower enthusiasts may say, "Hydrangeas have a lot of pollen? I haven't noticed that." The initial petals of the blooming hydrangeas are not real petals but sepals. After a period of blooming, the flowers in the center of the sepals open, revealing the pollen, and there is a large amount (similar to bougainvillea). Sometimes, a gust of wind blows the pollen of the hydrangeas onto the leaves, creating a white layer.Can hydrangeas be placed indoors?Do not place hydrangeas indoors if you have pets or children who don't know betterAs previously mentioned, the entire plant of hydrangeas is toxic and can cause poisoning if ingested. Of course, normal people would not eat hydrangeas, but if there are pets or children who don't know better, they might eat the hydrangeas and cause unnecessary trouble. A flower enthusiast once said that her dog loved to chew on her plants, and one day when she came home from work, she found that the dog had chewed a pot of hydrangeas to smithereens. She was worried sick and feared it might have poisoned the dog. She rushed it to the vet, but fortunately, it was fine, probably just playing and not actually ingesting it. Since then, she has been wary of keeping toxic plants, as it left a psychological scar.Therefore, if you have mischievous pets or children who don't know better, it's best not to place hydrangeas within their reach. If you want to keep hydrangeas at home, 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, as you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident, so don't be too complacent.Seeing this, some flower enthusiasts may say, "Hydrangeas are toxic, can they not be kept?" Of course not. The toxin in hydrangeas is in the sap, so just looking at them is fine. Don't believe rumors without evidence. However, since the sap of hydrangeas is toxic, we need to take protective measures when pruning to avoid getting the sap on our skin. Moreover, although the entire plant of hydrangeas is toxic, its toxicity is not too strong and not as scary as imagined.
