Want to add some green plants to your home? Be careful with these, they are poisonous!

The good news is that the ornamental plants sold on the market will not poison people just by their fragrance, as in the movies.

The bad news is that every year there are many reports of people being hospitalized due to green plant poisoning❗️especially children and pets. Most of them develop symptoms such as swollen and itchy skin, and eye discomfort because they accidentally ingest or pinch off leaves or rhizomes.

Knowing which domestic plants are toxic can help prevent the risk of poisoning to a great extent!

We have listed only a small number of plants here. In addition, Araceae plants such as Monstera and Bird of Paradise, Colchicine-containing plants, and various "unicorns" of the Euphorbia genus also need to be cautious.

In short, you should be careful when raising plants - be careful not to break them; be careful of the juice that flows out after breaking them, wash your hands as soon as possible after accidentally touching the juice and don't rub your eyes; don't put any plants in your mouth. Since they are ornamental plants, just appreciate them well, so that you can avoid a lot of trouble~
