Elderly people enjoy cultivating flowers and plants at home, but not all flowers are suitable for them. Some flowers have thorns, which can be dangerous for the elderly. Let's talk about the flowers that are not suitable to be kept at home. Flower enthusiasts, let's take a look~
1.梅花刺
Meihua Ci has toxic sap and is covered with many thorns. Some elderly people think that Meihua Ci has beautiful flowers but overlook the fact that it has many thorns.
Placement:
If you have already cultivated Meihua Ci at home, place it in an inconspicuous location. Avoid placing it in areas with high activity, such as the living room, as it may injure people.
2. Night-blooming Cereus
In the summer, many people like to cultivate night-blooming cereus. Its fragrance is strong at night, but it contains many tiny particles. If the elderly at home have heart problems or high blood pressure, they should avoid caring for night-blooming cereus. Flower enthusiasts should remember this~
Placement:
It's best to keep night-blooming cereus on the balcony and often open the windows for ventilation, so the fragrance won't be so strong.
3. Red Bean Tree
The Red Bean Tree is very beautiful, but its pollen is fine. If there are elderly people or children with asthma in the family, it is not recommended to keep a pot of Red Bean Tree at home, as it can trigger asthma.
Placement:
When cultivating Red Bean Trees at home, it is recommended to keep them in a well-lit and well-ventilated area. The balcony is a good choice. Regularly spray water with a small spray bottle to prevent pollen from spreading.
4. Potted Pine and Cypress
Some flower enthusiasts think that the smell of pine oil from Pine and Cypress is pleasant, but the elderly should avoid cultivating them at home because the smell of potted Pine and Cypress is quite volatile and can be stimulating to the elderly's respiratory system. Flower enthusiasts should remind the elderly at home not to cultivate potted plants.
Placement:
Place it in a well-ventilated area, not in the bedroom, and definitely not in places where meals are taken. This is good for both the flowers and the people.
