Codiaeum variegatum

After entering autumn, the flowers and leaves of Codiaeum variegatum become bright and eye-catching, looking very beautiful and festive. Many people like to keep several pots at home for appreciation. Growing this beautiful flower carries some risks because both its stems and leaves contain a certain amount of toxicity, especially the white latex secreted by the plant, which is more toxic. If it accidentally comes into contact with the skin during maintenance, it can cause redness, swelling, or itching.

If you like to grow Codiaeum variegatum, you can place it in the yard or on an open balcony. During autumn maintenance, keep the water and fertilizer and sufficient light, and after the day and night temperature difference forms, the leaf color will become more vibrant.

Rosin flower

Rosin flower is very easy to grow and has beautiful flowers. If well maintained, it can bloom all year round and is very popular among flower enthusiasts. In fact, this kind of flower is not suitable for indoor maintenance because the branches of the plant are covered with hard thorns, which can easily cause injury and its sap also contains a certain amount of toxicity. If the sap comes into contact with the skin accidentally, it can also cause discomfort.

Rosin flower is suitable for placement in the courtyard or balcony for cultivation and appreciation. It is not picky about soil and has strong drought resistance, liking sunlight. In daily maintenance, there is no need to water too much, fertilize once a month with a thin solution, and let it see more sunlight, and the plant will bloom continuously.

Monstera deliciosa

Monstera deliciosa is affectionately called Yushanhu by many flower enthusiasts. It is a succulent plant with bare branches and no leaves, giving it a special kind of beauty. However, you should also be careful when growing this plant because it is highly toxic. When the branches are damaged, they will secrete white latex containing highly toxic alkaloids. If ingested or contacting the skin, it can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and other poisoning reactions.

The reason why this succulent plant is loved by flower enthusiasts is not only because of its beauty but also because of its strong vitality, drought resistance, and easy maintenance. Usually, water it when the soil is dry, fertilize it with a thin solution once or twice a month, and keep it in a well-lit environment, and it will grow vigorously.

Codiaeum variegatum

Codiaeum variegatum is a very beautiful ornamental plant with lush leaves and bright colors. Placed indoors, it indeed looks beautiful and generous. However, this plant is highly toxic, especially the white sap in its stems and leaves. Try not to let it come into contact with the skin or ingest it during maintenance, as it can easily cause discomfort. Especially in homes with children, it's best not to keep such ornamental plants.

Codiaeum variegatum prefers a warm and humid environment. During maintenance, do not let the potting soil get too dry; water it promptly when the soil dries out. In the peak growing season, water it with a nutrient solution or a thin compound fertilizer once every half a month, and let it receive more scattered light, and the leaves will become brighter.

Sagittaria pygmaea

The leaves of Sagittaria pygmaea are large and green all year round. Many people like to place it in the living room for appreciation, looking fresh and natural, beautiful, and generous. In fact, this toxic plant is not suitable for indoor growth. Not only is the whole plant toxic, but the sap secreted on the leaves also contains toxicity. It is easily touched during maintenance, causing redness, swelling, and itching.

When growing Sagittaria pygmaea, place it in a spacious and bright area where children cannot reach it, and keep the environment well-ventilated. Keep the potting soil moist and often spray it with water mist to keep the stems and leaves greener.

Nerium oleander

Nerium oleander is often seen in parks and green belts. Its leaves are graceful, and its flowers are bright. Many flower enthusiasts also like to keep it at home for appreciation. However, when growing Nerium oleander, be careful because it is a plant that is toxic to the entire plant. If ingested or if the sap comes into contact with the skin accidentally, it can cause discomfort and poisoning reactions.

Nerium oleander is a plant with strong vitality and is relatively easy to maintain. It is not picky about soil and can grow well in a mixture of deciduous soil and garden soil. When the potting soil is dry, water it immediately, fertilize it regularly with a thin solution, and place the pot in a sunny location, allowing it to bloom normally.

Cestrum nocturnum

Cestrum nocturnum is a flower with a very strong fragrance. Many flower enthusiasts have heard that its fragrance can repel mosquitoes and even place it indoors for mosquito repellent, but this method is not advisable. Because the mosquito repellent effect of the fragrance is not significant, and prolonged exposure to the fragrance can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and severely affect sleep.

If you like to grow Cestrum nocturnum, it is best to place it in the courtyard or on an open balcony and not let the fragrance drift into the room. In daily maintenance, keep the water and fertilizer sufficient and place it in an environment with scattered light, so the plant can bloom normally during the flowering period.
