Is vinca roseus poisonous? Can it be placed in the bedroom?

1. Is it toxic?

It belongs to the Apocynaceae family and, like most plants in this family, is poisonous. Its toxicity is reflected in the juice and flowers. When caring for it, as long as the wound is not allowed to come into contact with the juice or it is not eaten directly, it will not cause harm. Therefore, wear gloves when pruning or repotting to avoid hurting yourself.

In addition, they should be placed where children cannot touch them, and they should be told not to touch these plants, let alone eat them accidentally, to avoid hurting them.

2. Can it be placed in the bedroom?

Although it is poisonous, the toxicity is only in the juice. Normal maintenance will not affect human health, so it is okay to place it in the bedroom. But it likes light very much, and the light in the bedroom is usually not very good, which is not conducive to its growth, so it is not recommended to place it here. During normal maintenance, it should be placed in a place with sufficient light and the room should be well ventilated so that it can grow more vigorously.
