Is the green radish poisonous? Can it be grown at home?

1. Is it poisonous?

It is very common in daily life and is a very popular green plant. However, people often say that it is poisonous. In fact, as long as it is maintained normally, there is generally no problem, because the whole plant itself does not emit toxicity, but the juice in its body contains toxins. Although the toxicity is not very high, it will not cause any harm to the human body unless it is accidentally eaten or touched directly with the hands.

If accidentally swallowed, it is not life-threatening, but it will cause sore throat. If you touch it with your hands, it may cause redness and swelling of the skin.

2. Can I keep it at home?

There is no problem in keeping it at home, but if there are children or small animals at home, they do not have the ability to distinguish, so you must be careful not to place it where they can reach it. Although this plant is very easy to maintain, you still need to pay attention to the maintenance environment so that it can grow lush. You can place them in a place with diffused light on a daily basis, or in the bedroom, but don’t put too many of them.
