2. The poison is inside

Its toxins are not released but are usually stored inside the plant. As long as you don't eat too much of this plant on a regular basis, you won't get poisoned. However, many flower lovers have reported that smelling its fragrance for a long time will cause adverse reactions such as chest tightness and dizziness. Isn’t this poisoning? In fact, this is not poisoning, but because the fragrance of the flower is too strong. If you smell this strong fragrance for a long time, you will experience the adverse phenomena mentioned above.

3. Not suitable for home breeding

Many flower lovers like the beautiful flowers and want to grow them indoors. However, we do not recommend doing this. First of all, it is poisonous, and some pets or children may be poisoned if they accidentally ingest it. Secondly, its fragrance is too strong, and the space at home is limited. If the fragrance cannot dissipate in time, it will affect people. Especially for some people who are prone to allergies, this effect will be more serious. So it is best not to keep it at home. If you must keep it, it is recommended to place it in a place with good ventilation.
