No one will probably argue that these are living organisms that affect human health and psyche. Knowing which indoor plants should not be kept at home, you can avoid danger to the health and mood of family members.

As for energy, the advice to get rid of stunted and diseased plants in a timely manner is psychologically justified. Few people will feel better at the sight of a dying plant. If for some reason it was not possible to keep it healthy and strong, then the best solution would be to give the plant to someone who will properly put it in order.

However, the biggest threat is posed by non-diseased indoor flowers - from a safety point of view, you should not keep plants at home whose leaves and fruits contain toxic substances. Even if gardeners take every precaution, these indoor "pets" are dangerous for small children and pets who do not have developed sense danger. Here are some of them.

Poinsettia, akalifa, codiaum, philodendron, calla euphorbia have similar properties. Their juice irritates the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes, and if it enters the intestines, it causes nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Hyacinth, clivia, etc. are especially poisonous in this regard.

Oleander - decorative flowering plant, which releases an aroma during flowering that can make you faint. The juice of the stems and leaves of oleander can cause blindness due to a burn to the mucous membrane of the eye.

Other representatives of this Kutrov family have a similar effect: Pachypodium, Dipladenia, Periwinkle, Adenium. Why can't they be kept at home? These indoor plants contain poison that weakens the heart activity of humans and animals.

Nightshade, brunfelsia, brovallia, clivia - their attractive fruits and berries are so poisonous that, once in the body, they cause drowsiness and dilated pupils, abdominal pain and vomiting.
Primrose, cyclamen- are contraindicated for those who suffer from allergies; such people immediately develop allergic dermatitis, inflammation of the skin.

Very intensely toxic compounds are released during plant care (watering, spraying, propagation).

If you decide to grow these indoor plants in your apartment, remember first aid measures.

The skin where the poisonous juice comes into contact should be washed with soap and water.

If poisonous juice gets into your mouth, take absorbents (activated carbon) and induce vomiting.

Rinse the affected mucous membrane of the eye running water about 20 minutes, then consult an ophthalmologist.

If children are poisoned or signs of nervous or cardiac dysfunction appear in adults, consult a doctor immediately.

Signs and superstitions

Whether or not to believe folk superstitions about which flowers cannot be grown at home is a personal matter for everyone. A simple law works here: if you believe in these superstitions, they will come true; if you are indifferent to signs, the troubles they predict will bypass you.

Cacti attract drunkenness into the family. There is another sign about them - a girl living in a house where cacti grow is doomed to remain an old maid.

Despite these superstitions, there are a huge number of examples of families growing cacti, vines, and geraniums living very happily.

Even geranium can cause headaches if kept in the bedroom on a south-facing windowsill.
