Don't put this potted flower in the living room or kitchen; the smell makes you dizzy and you can't even eat

Hydrangea

Hydrangea, with a hundred flowers forming clusters, gathered like a ball, brilliantly colored and exceptionally lovely, has the beauty of a mass of blooming flowers. Hydrangea is a typical garden flower and is not suitable for growing indoors in living rooms, dining rooms and the like.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. Although the fragrance of hydrangea is non-toxic, some hydrangeas have a stench that makes you nauseous when you smell it and kills your appetite.

2. The whole hydrangea plant is toxic. If eaten by mistake, or if you touch it with your hands and then eat without washing your hands, it can easily cause vomiting and diarrhea.

Suggested placement

1. Large flowers like hydrangea are mostly grown outdoors on balconies, in yards and so on.

2. Hydrangea likes partial shade, so it can also be grown by walls and under the shade of trees.

Lilac

Lilac flowers are small and elegant, with delicate colors and a captivating fragrance, charming and lovely. They are commonly seen along roadsides, in thickets or in the wild, and are not suitable for indoor care.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. The fragrance of lilac is rich; smelling it for a long time can make you dizzy, short of breath and irritable, especially indoors where the air does not circulate.

2. At night, the scent of lilac stimulates the nerves and excites the brain, making it hard to fall asleep.

Suggested placement

Potted lilacs are best placed in well-ventilated spots such as balconies and windowsills; if you have a yard, you can plant them in the ground.

Perfume lily

The perfume lily has a rich fragrance and a graceful form and is a symbol of purity, but it should not be placed indoors in living rooms, at dining tables and the like for long periods.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. The fragrance of the perfume lily is very strong and stimulates the nerves; smelling too much of it during the day causes headaches, nausea and loss of appetite.

2. Smelling too much of it at night excites the nerves and makes it hard to fall asleep.

Suggested placement

It is recommended to place perfume lilies on a balcony or plant them outdoors in the ground, where they are pleasing to the eye and will not stimulate the brain.

Night-blooming jasmine

Night-blooming jasmine gets its name from its strong fragrance at night. In summer and autumn, its yellow-green flowers open in the evening and give off waves of rich scent.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

At night, night-blooming jasmine releases particles that irritate the sense of smell, causing dizziness, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it is especially bad for people with high blood pressure and heart disease.

Suggested placement

1. Keep night-blooming jasmine outdoors during the day.

2. At night, put the pot by a well-ventilated window, where it can do a very good job of repelling mosquitoes.

Crown of thorns

Crown of thorns, shaped like plum blossoms, blooms in all four seasons, with small, brightly colored flowers and many thorns. Because it is toxic, it cannot be kept indoors, especially next to the dining table.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. The stems of crown of thorns have thorns; placed next to the dining table or in the living room, they can easily injure people by accident, and are especially bad for children.

2. The sap of crown of thorns is toxic, and a prick from the thorns causes itchy skin, so try to avoid injury when caring for it.

Suggested placement

1. Crown of thorns likes light and tolerates sun, so it is best placed on a balcony or in a courtyard with good light and air circulation.

2. If there are children, keep crown of thorns high up and out of reach.

Oleander

Oleander is a common ornamental flowering shrub, with brilliant flowers and a very long blooming period, and it has a strong ability to resist smoke, resist dust and purify the air, so it is often planted in parks, scenic areas, by lakesides and along roadsides, but it is not suitable for growing indoors.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. The fragrance of oleander can make people drowsy, reduce intelligence and worsen appetite.

2. The whole oleander plant is toxic. The oleandrin in its flowers and sap is extremely harmful to the human respiratory system and digestive system; too much contact can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and in severe cases can be fatal.

Suggested placement

1. Oleander is suitable for planting in the ground, and can be planted outside the yard, by walls or along roadsides.

2. If there are elderly people, children, pregnant women or pets at home, it is best not to grow oleander.

Pine and cypress plants

Pine and cypress plants look grand and steady, and many gardeners like to grow them, but whether it is a large Japanese white pine or Buddhist pine, or a small daphne or elderberry, none of them are suitable for indoor care.

Reasons not to keep it indoors

1. Pine and cypress plants secrete oily substances and release a relatively strong pine-resin scent; smelling it for a long time causes loss of appetite and nausea.

2. The fragrance can make pregnant women feel restless, dizzy and disoriented, and make the elderly and children feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Suggested placement

1. Large bonsai such as Japanese white pine and Buddhist pine can be placed at the entrance hallway, beside the stairs or outside the yard.

2. Small daphne and elderberry can be kept on a well-ventilated balcony.
