What should you pay attention to when growing irises at home? Is it harmful to your health?

1. Maintenance

1. Light supplement: When growing irises at home, you should pay attention to the issue of light. They are suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light. Lack of sunlight will affect their growth, so you must provide good light and grow them in a place with bright light indoors. The plants must not lack sunlight.

2. Alkaline soil: Unlike some southern flowers, irises prefer to grow in slightly alkaline soil, so acidic soil cannot be provided to ensure good soil factors.

3. Pay attention to watering: Irises cannot tolerate stagnant water, so when watering, you must be careful not to water too much to prevent root rot. The specific watering situation is determined according to the soil and growth. Keep the soil slightly moist and dry, and deal with root rot in time.

2. Safety

Although irises are ornamental plants, they are poisonous, but the toxicity is very mild. If you keep it at home just for viewing, it's not a big problem and it won't harm your body, but you must prevent accidental ingestion, as it can cause poisoning. If you are worried, you can keep it where it cannot be easily reached to prevent children and pets from accidentally ingesting it. If there are guests at home, you should also remind them.
