Is it harmful to your health to keep iris at home, and what should you pay attention to?

I. Care aspects

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

2. Alkaline soil: Unlike some southern flowers, iris likes to grow in slightly alkaline soil, so do 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 situation depends on the soil and growth, keeping 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 kept at home only for viewing, it is not a big problem and 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 in a place that is not easily accessible, to avoid accidental ingestion by children and pets. If guests come to the home, you should also remind them.
