Is fishtail palm poisonous? Can it be grown indoors?

1. Is it poisonous?

It is poisonous, and the poison is concentrated in the juice of its fruit. If you accidentally touch it or it gets on your skin, it will cause allergies, redness, swelling and itching. But as normal maintenance, there is no problem. Be sure not to touch it with your hands. If there are ignorant children or small pets at home, you need to pay special attention. They do not have the ability to distinguish and are more likely to touch things accidentally. Guests who come and go also need to be reminded to prevent accidents.

2. Can it be kept indoors?

It can be grown indoors, and has a good beautifying and decorative effect, and can be used to embellish the home environment. However, because it is toxic, you must be careful about where you place it and not place it where children can reach it. It should also be noted that because it has its own requirements for light, it is suitable for growth in a semi-shaded environment and cannot be exposed to the scorching sun. However, too dark light is also not conducive to growth. It can be placed in a place with better light in winter.
