Toddler Rushed to ICU After Curiously Eating a Houseplant: Think Twice Before Keeping These Plants in Homes with Children
A couple of days ago I came across a news story: a three-year-old boy, while the adults weren't paying attention, grabbed a leaf off a houseplant and curiously chewed a couple of bites. Within half an hour he started vomiting and couldn't speak, and when he was taken to the hospital he went straight into the ICU. The doctor said that if he had arrived any later, he might not have been saved. The culprit turned out to be a houseplant the parents had casually placed in the living room.

Which potted plants do not need sunlight? Four small potted plants with low watering frequency
Insufficient indoor light and low watering frequency? These four potted plants do not need frequent sunlight, nor do you have to constantly remember to water them. They are suitable for busy people or beginners, and are simply a blessing for renters and overtime workers. Even if you occasionally forget to take care of them, they can still live quite vigorously. Small-leaf red nanmu: Small-leaf red nanmu (Syzygium buxifolium) looks especially delicate, with small oval leaves that are glossy green, and from a distance it looks like a mini forest. The best part is that it is not picky about light, so it can be placed in a corner of the living room or beside a desk, as long as it is not completely pitch-black. Watering is even more worry-free; water only after the soil has dried out completely, about once every ten days or so is enough, in summer when evaporation is fast at most once a week, and in winter once every half month is no problem. I once kept one, went on a business trip for half a month without tending it, and when I came back it still looked vigorous, just a little wilted leaves, and after a bit of water it perked up the next day, very easy to keep.

So can you use string to tie the leaves in place? Actually, fixing them with string is completely fine, but you have to go about it
