Is the reason why plants thrive but people don't really related to luck?

 Growing some green plants at home to beautify the environment is the first choice for many people, because green plants and flowers are not only affordable but can also purify the air. However, not all plants are free of taboos; some can even create a situation where the flowers thrive but the people don't, so everyone should not take this lightly! The following article discusses in detail those flowers that you should never grow at home no matter what.

Plants with thorns and pointed tips

Generally speaking, thorny plants are relatively drought-tolerant and vigorous, making them very suitable for office workers to care for, but if there are children and pets at home, it is not recommended to grow these plants. Representative thorny plants include Euphorbia neriifolia (jade unicorn) and Euphorbia tirucalli (dragon bone), which are highly dangerous; if your skin accidentally touches these plants, you can easily be pricked and injured.

Green plants prone to yellowing and withered leaves

Generally speaking, households smaller than 50 sq m should not choose green plants with large leaves, because improper care can very likely cause root rot and leaf drop, and leaf drop or yellowing is mostly caused by infection with pathogens; if you let them go without pruning, the indoor air will worsen, and over a long time it is not good for your health. At the same time, they may also spread diseases to other healthy flowers in the room.

Flowers that attract flying insects

There is a kind of flower that, after being cared for over a long period, will attract flying insects such as fungus gnats, aphids, whiteflies, mosquitoes, and so on. These insects generally fly around the flowerpot, and some crawl around in the soil. In short, if the insects multiply more and more, they may fly onto people's skin and even bite the skin, making the whole body uncomfortable. For plants infested with insects like these, you must no longer keep them indoors; they need to be moved outdoors or to a balcony, and if the insect situation is severe, you may also need to spray pesticide or simply discard them.
So how should households choose flowers to grow? Besides the three types of plants mentioned above, flower lovers can choose flowers and plants that are greatly beneficial to health, such as the happiness tree (Radermachera sinica), money tree (Pachira aquatica), kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), safe tree (Cinnamomum kotoense), and clivia (Clivia miniata). They symbolize good fortune, and when well cared for they can also purify the air and improve the indoor environment.
