Keeping these 4 kinds of flowers together can be fatal, hurry and remind your family to move them out
Nowadays more and more people are growing flowers. Flowers and plants can bring some color and vitality to the indoors, and they can also help growers cultivate their minds and character. Growing flowers is gradually becoming an indispensable part of life. Although there are many kinds of flowers, you still need to think carefully about which ones to grow. After all, some flowers, though beautiful and highly ornamental in the home, or strongly fragrant, may also be potentially dangerous. That is because some flowers are toxic. In particular, the 4 kinds of flowers mentioned below must never be kept together indoors, otherwise they are poison and can even be fatal, so do not ignore this.
One of the flowers that cannot be kept together: Alocasia amazonica (dumb cane)
This plant has green, glossy leaves all year round. Although it looks very lively and energetic indoors, its sap is toxic, so it cannot be grown casually. If the sap of Alocasia amazonica accidentally touches the skin, it will cause swelling and numbness at the contact area, and in severe cases there can be symptoms of central nervous system poisoning. Because it is toxic, it is also considered a kind of Chinese medicinal material; its rhizome can be used as medicine to treat abdominal pain and hernia. Of course, for flower growers, it is better not to grow this plant. You can replace it with the large-leaved Monstera deliciosa.
The second flower that cannot be kept together: tulip
Tulip is one of the very common bulb flowers. Its flowers are elegant and beautiful, and look graceful and generous, so many flower lovers grow one in a pot at home. As a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Tulipa in the family Liliaceae, the tulip can give off a strong fragrance. Some people think the scent is nice and strong, so they often keep it in the bedroom. In fact, this is a big mistake; its fragrance contains allergenic substances and is toxic. Especially when kept in the bedroom, the fragrance released at night can easily trigger symptoms such as rhinitis, and severe allergy sufferers may also experience dizziness. So tulips, as cut flowers, are not suitable for the bedroom.
The third flower that cannot be kept together: narcissus
As for saying that potted narcissus is toxic, many people will certainly question it. That is understandable, since every year around the New Year, narcissus is the most popular among New Year flowers. After all, narcissus has a beautiful symbolic meaning; keeping a pot of narcissus at home symbolizes reunion. However, narcissus does indeed have a certain toxicity. As a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Amaryllidaceae, the bulb juice of narcissus contains multiple alkaloids such as lycorine and tazettine; if livestock eat it, they will experience spasms, dilated pupils, and other conditions. Even if a person touches the sap of narcissus, it must be washed off immediately, otherwise it will cause redness, swelling, and pain of the skin. Especially for flower lovers who have young children at home, be sure to place narcissus up high, or do not grow it.
The fourth flower that cannot be kept together: morning glory
Everyone is probably familiar with morning glory. Although it is a wild flower, many flower lovers now grow it in pots on the balcony. After all, potted morning glory is very easy to care for, and not only does it bloom abundantly, its ornamental value is also higher than that of other flowers. Although morning glory is beautiful and comes in many colors, it is also toxic. Some people may disagree, thinking that they played with morning glory for a long time as children, so how could it be toxic, and they have lived well all these years. In fact, morning glory is indeed toxic, just mildly so. Of course, it cannot be kept together with the flowers above; they are all toxic flowers and are not good for health.
The four kinds of flowers above must never be grown together; keep this firmly in mind. After reading this, remember to share it so more friends around you know. Thank you for reading!
