Is Iris Poisonous?
Core content of this article: Is Iris poisonous and understanding the meaning and symbolism of the green plant flower cultivation of Campsis, let's take a look together!
Recently, the actress Sun Li has become popular again, but this time, it is not because of her film and television works, but because of a set of magazine photos. In the photos, Sun Li's hair is disheveled and she is even biting an iris, which looks casual and wild;
However, many netizens' focus is not on Sun Li's image, but on the iris she is biting. The reason is very simple: the iris is poisonous.
What is Iris?
Briefly, iris is a plant from the genus Iris in the iris family, and the flowers are usually blue. Although they have high ornamental value, the entire plant is poisonous, especially the newly grown roots and leaves, which are even more toxic;
During the shooting process, although Sun Li used iris, there must have been a specialist guiding her, so she would not hurt her own health. However, if some netizens are unaware and imitate Sun Li biting an iris for a photo, and accidentally ingest the sap inside, it will inevitably damage their health, which is why this set of photos has been discussed by many netizens.
In fact, many plants around us are poisonous. Today, I learned how terrifying these three "highly poisonous flowers" are. Don't treat them as treasures, remove them quickly, and let's take a look together.
First: Caudex Plant
Mentioning succulent plants, many people think of their cute and adorable appearance. However, do you know that some succulent varieties are also poisonous? The most toxic one should be the caudex plant;
The caudex plant has high aesthetics, with its branches usually being long and slender, the leaf color is green and full, when in good condition, it is round and full, with a green color like jade, which is really ornamental;
Is Iris Poisonous?
However, such a delicate caudex plant has considerable toxicity. If you break its branches randomly, you will see white liquid secreted. This liquid can cause redness and swelling if it comes into contact with the skin, and if it gets into the eyes, it may cause blindness;
If you have a caudex plant at home, it is recommended to move it from indoors to outdoors to prevent family members from accidentally coming into contact with it. If you need to prune it, you should wear gloves and collect and dispose of the remaining leaves promptly to prevent others from ingesting them by mistake.
[Little Tip]
If you like this type of green succulent plant, you can actually choose species like aloe vera for maintenance. Taking aloe vera as an example, its leaves are also green and full, with high ornamental value;
Aloe vera is also very tough. Provide it with well-drained soil and place it in a sunny position. Water it in time, and it will quickly produce young plants, easily growing into a clumping state. Moreover, the leaves of aloe vera can also whiten the skin, which is much better than the caudex plant.
Second: Narcissus
Graceful, fragrant, and elegant, this is the impression most flower enthusiasts have of narcissus. However, do you know that narcissus is also poisonous, and its toxicity is not small;
Most flower enthusiasts cultivate narcissus for its fragrance. However, do you know that when narcissus releases its fragrance, the pollen in the flowers also floats around, which can irritate the respiratory tract, hinder normal breathing, and in severe cases, even trigger asthma;
