What should you pay attention to when keeping iris at home, and is it harmful to your health?

I. Care aspects

1. Light supplementation: When keeping iris at home, you should pay attention to the light issue. It is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light. A lack of sunlight will affect its growth, so you must provide good light and keep it indoors in a place with bright light. The plant must not be deprived of sunlight.

2. Alkaline soil: Unlike some southern flowers, iris likes to grow in slightly alkaline soil, so you must not provide acidic soil. Make sure the soil factors are good.

3. Pay attention to watering: Iris cannot tolerate waterlogging, so when watering, you must be careful and must not water too much, to prevent root rot. The specific watering amount depends on the soil and growth. Keep the soil slightly moist and on the dry side. If root rot occurs, deal with it promptly.

II. Safety aspects

Although iris is an ornamental plant, it is toxic, though only mildly so. If it is kept at home only for viewing, there is not much of a problem, and it is not harmful to your health, but you must prevent accidental ingestion. Once ingested, it will cause poisoning. If you are worried, you can keep it somewhere that is not easy to reach, to prevent children and pets from accidentally eating it. If guests come to the home, you should also remind them.
