Many flower lovers tend to take flowers home because of their beautiful appearance, but they don't know that some seemingly harmless flowers are hidden dangers. For the safety and health of our families, we need to be wary of these beautiful but poisonous plants.
Although the four flowers introduced below are attractive in appearance, they are actually very dangerous and it is best not to keep them at home. If you already have these plants at home, dispose of them quickly to avoid unnecessary troubles and risks.
1. Dripping Guanyin
The dripping Guanyin is a very elegant foliage plant with wide leaves and evergreen all year round, and is often used as an interior decoration plant. However, its stems and leaves contain large amounts of calcium oxalate, which can cause severe allergic reactions and poisoning symptoms if accidentally touched or ingested. Especially if you have children or pets at home, you should avoid planting dripping Guanyin.
Dripping Kannon prefers a semi-shady environment and doesn't need too much sunlight, but it can't be completely devoid of light. When curing indoors, it can be placed in a bright place with no direct sunlight, such as a window. In the summer high temperature, to increase the air humidity appropriately, you can often spray water on the leaves to keep them moist. In winter, when the temperature is below 10°C, it is better to keep warm, and maintain proper humidity.
2. Iku Jinxiang
Tulips are loved for their bright colors and beautiful shapes, and they are a dream flower in many people's hearts. However, tulips bulbs and leaves contain toxins that can cause itching, redness, and even allergic reactions when exposed to them for a long time. If the bulb is ingested by mistake, it can lead to serious poisoning. Especially if you have children and pets at home, you should be more cautious to avoid health problems caused by accidental ingestion. In addition, although the floral fragrance of tulips is charming, being in a strong floral fragrance for a long time may also cause dizziness, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Tulips need plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil when growing. Tulips prefer cooler climates and are suitable for planting in the fall. Choose loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil and apply the right amount of basal fertilizer before planting. During the process of growing tulips, ensure at least 6 hours of light every day to promote their healthy growth. Water properly during the growing season to keep the soil moist but avoid standing water.
3. Tiger thorn plum
The tiger thorn plum has a high ornamental value due to its unique flower shape and spiny stem, but the sap inside its branches contains strong toxicity and can cause severe irritation and pain when it comes into contact with the skin. Especially for families with children and pets, they should be cautious to avoid unnecessary injuries caused by accidental touch.
Tiger prefers sunny environments and is drought tolerant, but not cold-tolerant. It is suitable for growing in a warm, dry environment and is more common in southern regions. During the growth period, it is necessary to apply some well-rotted fertilizer at regular intervals to ensure that the nutrient content in the soil is sufficient, which is conducive to the healthy growth and flowering of the tiger prickly plum.
4. Cactus
Cactus balls are loved by many flower lovers because of their unique appearance and strong drought tolerance. However, although the cactus may seem harmless on the outside, its spikes contain bacteria and toxins, which can cause skin redness, inflammation, and even infection if accidentally pricked. If you have children or pets at home, it is best not to keep cactus balls to avoid accidents.
Cacti prefer sunny environments and are guaranteed at least 4 hours of light per day. It is drought-tolerant, suitable for growing in dry environments, the soil requires good drainage, and sandy soils can be used. Water moderately during the growing season to keep the soil moist, but avoid standing water. In winter, reduce watering and keep the soil dry.

If you have these flowers at home, dispose of them quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble and danger.
