Is poinsettia poisonous? Can it be placed indoors?

1. Is it toxic?

Poinsettia is poisonous. There is white juice in its sap, which can easily cause discomfort when it comes into contact with people's skin. Therefore, you should pay more attention during the breeding period and try not to touch its body or the juice it secretes. Also, be careful not to ingest it accidentally, especially if there are children at home. They must be supervised strictly and remember not to ingest it accidentally. In fact, whether it is poisonous or non-toxic, it will not harm human health as long as you do not accidentally eat it or come into contact with its juice.

2. Can it be placed indoors?

If you like poinsettia, you can place it indoors. It is more ornamental if placed in the living room, but it is also not edible. Some people worry that its scent may be toxic, but this concern can be eliminated: the scent of poinsettia is non-toxic.

However, it cannot be grown in the bedroom. Although it has a purifying effect, the bedroom environment is not suitable for its growth. And placing it in the bedroom will also affect people's sleep. Therefore, it is recommended that you place it on an open balcony or in the living room for maintenance.
