These 3 flowers have toxic leaves; your skin swells as soon as it touches them, so avoid them when growing plants
According to Huahua's observation, more and more people are starting to grow plants now. Many people have made plant growing their hobby and their life. When they have nothing to do, they grow plants at home, water the plants, and then bask in the sun with the plants in the yard. What a happy and cozy day.
Huahua has found that plants we are familiar with, such as Christmas cactus and kalanchoe, are truly loved by people! Besides these, foliage plants such as money tree and Monstera deliciosa are also very popular. Although growing plants is a good thing, we need to be careful when choosing plants, because not all plants are as cute as they look, and they may "hide a dagger behind a smile"!
Today Huahua will talk about which common plants in our lives are toxic. To protect everyone's health, it is best not to grow these plants!
The first type: narcissus
When it comes to narcissus being toxic, many friends may not believe it. Rather than not believing it, it is more like not wanting to believe it. Who would have thought that the narcissus, which looks so cute and charming, is actually toxic? The toxicity of narcissus lies in its flowers. The sap of narcissus leaves and flowers can cause redness, swelling and itching on human skin. If a naughty child at home gets it on their hands, that would be bad.
In addition, if a child at home accidentally eats narcissus, it can cause vomiting and enteritis. It is best to keep an eye on children. If it is swallowed by mistake, remember to seek medical treatment in time.
The second type; Alocasia macrorrhizos
Although the name Alocasia macrorrhizos sounds kind and gentle, its leaves are actually toxic. The sap of Alocasia macrorrhizos leaves can cause redness and swelling on our skin. If the leaf sap accidentally gets into the eyes, it may even cause blindness!
Given how toxic Alocasia macrorrhizos is, everyone had better not grow it. If you really want to grow it, Huahua suggests growing it outdoors, which can help avoid incidents.
The third type: poinsettia
Poinsettia not only looks like its name, but even the skin that touches poinsettia will show patches of red swelling. This is because the leaf sap of poinsettia is toxic, and this toxicity is very strong. If small animals swallow it by mistake, they may even die.
For the 3 plants mentioned above, Huahua suggests that friends with children at home had better grow them cautiously. If a child is naughty and touches them, they will have to go to the hospital for medical treatment. If there are no children at home, Huahua suggests planting these plants in the courtyard.
Usually, besides looking at them and watering them, it is best not to touch them casually. Friends who cannot resist touching them should not grow them when basking in the sun!
