Is golden branch and jade leaf poisonous?
This article provides an introduction to the common knowledge of raising flowers, focusing on whether golden branch and jade leaf are poisonous. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Golden branch and jade leaf, also known as Portulaca oleracea, are not easily explained from a scientific perspective regarding the question of whether they are poisonous, as few experts have conducted experiments in this area. However, we can make some inferences based on common sense. Let's make some guesses about whether golden branch and jade leaf are poisonous.
Golden branch and jade leaf belong to the Portulaca oleracea family, which is the same family as the wild vegetable Portulaca oleracea that we commonly eat. They look similar, but golden branch and jade leaf are succulent shrubs. We know that most Euphorbiaceae plants are poisonous (this has been studied by experts), so while Portulaca oleracea is edible, it can be inferred that golden branch and jade leaf are not poisonous on the whole.
The above is a simple inference, which is not very scientific. In fact, many plants are toxic, such as the commonly cultivated滴水观音 (Saruma henryi),虎刺梅 (Crown of Thorns), narcissus, and hyacinth, which are all toxic flowers. However, many gardening enthusiasts still cultivate them. The toxicity of these plants is harmful only if ingested, so gardeners should not worry too much about whether plants are poisonous. As long as they do not consume them during maintenance, it should be fine (mainly for families with children).
The above comprehensive introduction to whether golden branch and jade leaf are poisonous is hoped to provide green plant enthusiasts with some knowledge about green plants.
