What are the poisonous flowers
This article will detail which flowers are poisonous and classify three types of poisonous flowers, discussing various topics about flowers and plants. Next, the editor will provide a detailed explanation.
Small house plants are an unstoppable trend now. People with taste will keep some flowers and plants at home, whether in the living room, balcony, or bedroom. Placing several pots of green plants can not only make the environment beautiful but also purify the air to some extent. Flowers with good meanings can also embody people's yearning for a better life, making them even more popular. On the other hand, poisonous flowers are often kept out of doors and are not favored by most people. However, due to our limited knowledge of flowers, we might accidentally bring them indoors without realizing it.
Flowers with high toxicity and bad meanings
Flowers with high toxicity and bad meanings are always kept out of doors. Some plants have toxic leaves, stems, flowers, fruits, and roots. Accidental contact may cause allergic reactions, and if ingested, they can cause nausea, vomiting, and other health issues.
For example, oleander is often planted in gardens, parks, or green belts. Oleander is highly toxic. There was a report of a net influencer who accidentally ingested oleander flowers while posing for a photo and suffered a poisoning reaction. This shows that keeping such flowers nearby is very dangerous and it is recommended to keep away from them. Apart from oleander, flowers like Cape Jessamine, poinsettia, coral peach,滴水观音 (Saruma henryi), and croton also contain some toxicity and should not be ingested. Flowers like Datura and曼珠沙华 (Gratiola officinalis) are not only highly toxic but also have bad meanings, bringing bad luck when kept nearby and not conducive to wealth.
Toxic flowers with thorns
Mentioning toxic flowers with thorns, I immediately think of the rose with thorns. The branches of the rose are covered with sharp thorns that can accidentally injure the skin during care, leading to financial losses. In addition, the sap of the rose is also toxic, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive skin and, if ingested, can cause nausea, vomiting, and even coma. Therefore, for safety, do not keep it indoors. Apart from the rose with thorns, there is霸王鞭 (Barbados cherry), which does not look very attractive but has toxic thorns and sap. If it accidentally pricks the skin, it can cause redness and inflammation, adding trouble for oneself and one's family.

Strong fragrance can also be a chronic "poison"
Many people like to keep fragrant flowers indoors. Fragrant plants are more popular than those with a scent because they can make the environment cozy and romantic and mask odors. The fragrance can be comforting, but prolonged exposure can cause dizziness, mental excitement, and affect sleep. Such a fragrance is a chronic poison and keeping it indoors is harmful to health and can also affect the family's fortune. For example, tulips, night-blooming cereus, lilies, and lily-of-the-valley.
Of course, there are also many suitable flowers for indoors, such as the following.
The first type, flowers with wealth-attracting meanings
Wealth bamboo, money tree, money wood, lucky tree, golden branch and jade leaf, peace tree, happiness tree
The second type, flowers that can absorb formaldehyde
Aloe vera, bird's-nest fern, rubber tree, Boston fern, Aspidistra elatior, Chinese violet, kaffir lily, spider plant, pothos
The third type, flowers that can promote sleep
Eight-precious-herb, longevity flower, jade plant,蟹爪兰 (Disocactus ackermannii), kaffir lily
The fourth type, flowers that can kill germs
Flowering bamboo, stonecrop, lemon, osmanthus
