What indoor plants can cause trouble and why should they not be kept at home?


Plants that are poisonous and dangerous to humans

Plants that can cause harm to humans belong to the following families:

  • Kutrovye are the most harmful house flowers in the world; prominent representatives of the family are: adenium and pachypodium, dipladenia, plumeria, allamanda, strophanthus, carissa. When working with crops, extreme caution should be observed: use rubber gloves, avoid getting poisonous juice on the mucous membrane or skin.
  • The aroid family also includes many harmful houseplants: alocasia, aglaonema, monstera, dieffenbachia, philodendron, spathiphyllum, anthurium, syngonium. The toxic effects of individuals are caused by oxalic acid, proteins and enzymes, often used in the manufacture of household chemicals due to their caustic properties.
  • Euphorbia flowers (euphorbia, croton, foxtail) contain a poisonous component - euphorin. When the milky juice gets on the skin and mucous membrane, it causes burning, burns and inflammatory processes. You should wash your hands thoroughly after handling the specimen.

Most indoor plants of the Solanaceae family that are harmful to humans (brovallia, brunfelsia, capsicum) are popular among lovers of home floristry. When raising individuals, you should be wary of the internal consumption of poisonous berries of the crop, which cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, as well as increased drowsiness and lethargy.

Which house flowers should you be careful with?

Geranium crops captivate with their persistent aroma and bright flowering. Pelargonium leaves contain a high percentage of essential oils that have a beneficial effect on the heart, disinfecting the air, but allergic reactions may occur.

Primrose and calendula affect the mucous membrane, causing acute runny nose, photophobia, poor health, headache, and in more severe cases, asthma attacks.

If you observe an increased threat of poisoning of people and animals, you should remove sources of danger from the apartment.


Rating of poisonous indoor plants

Anthurium

Not the most popular, but a very impressive plant that hides a serious danger behind its bright appearance. If in the case of the azalea you had to taste it, then the anthurium can simply be cut off or transplanted into another pot: the roots of the plant and its juice contain toxic substances, so even if the juice just gets on your skin, you will get a burn. If there are children in the house, this plant should be categorically abandoned.

Flowering is often associated with income, good luck, and pleasant events on the personal front; withering of plants is considered a bad omen. The exception is the Decembrist - premature or late flowering is considered not the best sign.

The drying of one plant indicates the removal of a strong evil eye, damage, or serious illness. Mass destruction of crops means the presence of negativity in the apartment or serious damage. Disease and wilting of flowers for natural reasons foreshadows purchases.

If in the middle of winter an inflorescence appears, expected in the summer, something pleasant, and to some extent impossible, will happen. The interpretation is determined by the properties of the culture (the flowering of the money tree out of season means unexpected income).

Important! In Islam, it is forbidden to give plants in flowerpots; the gift threatens failure for the giver and the recipient; when receiving the pot, a coin of any denomination must be given in return. This way the gift will turn into a pleasant purchase.

The best flowers for the home according to Feng Shui

Interactions with human energy

Based on the interaction of flowers with humans at the energy level, indoor plants are divided into 3 groups:

  • Powerful protection (cacti, palms, dracaena, yucca). Holders of strong, pronounced “yang” energy are able to protect the home and make a person active and hardworking. It is advisable to install flowerpots in the hall and office, respectively. Placing crops in the bedroom or children's room will have a negative impact.
  • Warmth and care (begonia, camellia, hoya, aloe, azalea). The vegetation of the second group has soft “yin” energy. Cultures improve mood, give confidence, help overcome mental and physiological deficiencies, and improve the atmosphere in an unmarried woman’s apartment.
  • Space cleaning (ficus, vines, ivy, hibiscus). Plants of the group eliminate geopathogenic zones, remove energy stagnation and protect against the evil eye.

Interesting fact. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists proved the ability of plants to transmit information and emit light. It has been experimentally proven that flowers perceive verbal threats and promises. For example, Luther Burbank grew a cactus without thorns, guaranteeing the flower reliable protection. According to research, different individuals have different effects on the aura of a room or person.

Is it possible to keep climbing indoor plants at home?

You should not allow plants to climb in your living space - the vines are assigned aggressive masculine energy. Representatives of the stronger half will feel uncomfortable in the space, which is accompanied by a constant desire to leave the room. Ivy and vines suck vitality, optimism and mental health. Keeping plants in the yard, outside the house is beneficial. Cultures look beautiful and protect against the negative emotions of others.


Husbandry plants

Vampire plants

Many types of indoor plants have the ability to absorb negative emotions and protect the health of household members.

Monstera is a “vampire” flower that evokes fear, shock and at the same time feeds on bright positive emotions. The plant is kept in the living room and public spaces where there are a large number of people.

In calm owners, Scindapsus resembles an ordinary vine, also known as epipremnum. For those who like to communicate in raised voices, bindweed will grow into a lush jungle.

Chlorophytum neutralizes negative emotions caused by problems at work, financial difficulties and fatigue after shopping or watching videos. It is also useful for children, after talking with their peers, to spend half an hour on the plant: moisten, loosen, cut off old leaves. Variegated chlorophytum is recommended for older people; the individual takes away negative energy, providing a calming effect.

Important! Ferns are successfully used in rooms with the maximum release of energy: offices, theater foyers, home living rooms with a TV. The plant feels comfortable in diffused light, near a source of energy surge (TV, large household appliances, active employees).

Orchids make a huge contribution to heated disputes, passions, and console those who cry. Seeing the exquisite flowering, people involuntarily think about the beauty of the world, about spirituality, and harmony.

Sheflera is useful for schoolchildren and students immersed in mental and creative work. Culture promotes collaboration, inspiration and learning.

Asparagus absorbs the energetic manifestation of weakness, lack of will, and laziness. Suitable for people involved in business, creativity and sports.

Sansevieria feeds on strong electromagnetic radiation generated by household or office equipment and does not respond to subtle energies; one should not expect a calming effect from the plant.


Beware, vampire flowers

Many plants are poisonous and dangerous, but most are successfully cultivated by people. It may be worth avoiding buying a flower that could harm your household. However, when deciding to grow potentially hazardous crops, every effort should be made to reduce the risk. Children and animals (cats, dogs) should not be allowed to come into contact with the crop, place beds nearby, and rubber gloves should be used when working with the specimen. Following simple rules will reduce the threat and allow you to enjoy the natural beauty of plants.
