Is gardenia poisonous? Can it be grown at home?

1. Is it toxic?

Gardenia has pure white flowers and a strong fragrance, and is very popular. It can be cared for with confidence as it is non-toxic. Neither the flowers themselves nor the smell they emit are toxic and will not affect human health. Not only that, it has many benefits. If grown in potted plants, the flowers are lovely and beautiful, highly ornamental, and can also be used to make perfume. In addition, the fruit can be used as a dye, and the wood is very hard and can be used for root carving.

2. Can it be kept at home?

Gardenia is not toxic at all and can certainly be grown at home. However, you should still pay attention that the fragrance of the flowers when they bloom is too strong, so it is best not to keep them in the bedroom to avoid the fragrance stimulating your nerves while you are resting, which will affect your rest. Especially for families with children or pregnant women, it is best to place it on a balcony or in the courtyard, so that it has good ventilation and sufficient light, which is more conducive to its growth.
