Is the night-blooming flower "Yelai Xiang" poisonous?
Regarding the topic of whether the night-blooming flower "Yelai Xiang" is poisonous or just fragrant, detailed content will be shared next.
"Yelai Xiang" is a plant that is not commonly found in the market. In our local area, it is also known as "Qianli Xiang," which means that its petals only bloom at night, and the scent of its flowers is extremely strong. Even a small "Yelai Xiang" plant can spread its fragrance to a distance of a hundred meters when in bloom, and you can never truly experience the scent of flowers unless you cultivate it.
Last summer, I bought a "Yelai Xiang" seedling online, and it has already grown big this year. A few days ago, it even bloomed petals. Although there were few petals, what remains memorable is its fragrance. After dinner one evening, I was relaxing in the courtyard when I suddenly smelled its fragrance. It seemed to have bloomed all at once, and the scent was so strong that it was almost overpowering.
Among all the flowers and green plants I have kept, the most memorable fragrance comes from osmanthus and gardenia. The scent of gardenia is strong enough, but "Yelai Xiang" exceeds both of these plants, and it is even more fragrant than flower water or perfume. The scent from its more than a dozen petals is enough to fill a room of several dozen square meters.
Many flower enthusiasts have doubts about "Yelai Xiang." Given its strong fragrance, they wonder if the plant is poisonous. However, "Yelai Xiang" itself is not poisonous; its trunk and leaves are also non-toxic. It's because of its unique fragrance that many people are suspicious of it. Everyone can feel free to cultivate it without any issues.
Is the night-blooming flower "Yelai Xiang" poisonous?
"Yelai Xiang" is not poisonous; it's just that its fragrance is very strong. The strong fragrance can stimulate our sense of smell, and at night, when it's time to sleep, it might cause a bit of discomfort. While the fragrance stimulates the sense of smell, it also triggers dopamine in the brain, which can make the body feel excited, which can be simply understood as being unable to sleep. However, it is not poisonous.
Plants like osmanthus, gardenia, jasmine, windmill flowers,兰花 ( orchid), and others emit a fragrance when they bloom. Overpowering scents can stimulate the sense of smell, which is why it is not recommended to keep blooming plants indoors, especially in bedrooms. Most flowering plants emit a fragrance, but some have a stronger scent than others, and to some extent, they can all affect sleep.
"Yelai Xiang" is quite special. If there is no open balcony in the house, it's best not to keep it at home, especially for children. The strong fragrance can severely affect rest, causing sleeplessness at night and drowsiness during the day, which can impact work. Gardenia is also not recommended to be kept indoors, as the fragrance from a single flower is enough to fill an entire home.
The fragrance emitted by plants is inherently stimulating, which is why we can smell the scent of flowers from a distance. The fragrance can severely stimulate the nasal cavity.
