Are hydrangeas poisonous?

1. Toxic

Hydrangea contains toxic ingredients. The whole plant is poisonous, so it is not suitable for indoor cultivation, especially in families with children. To prevent the danger of accidental ingestion, it is recommended to grow it in the courtyard.

Its stems and leaves are the most toxic, and use can cause symptoms such as hernia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and blood in the stool.

2. Indoor farming

Hydrangea is poisonous, but its smell is not toxic. Moreover, its bright and beautiful appearance, like a cluster of hydrangea flowers, is very lovable, so it can be grown indoors. But be careful not to let children eat it by mistake, and wash it immediately after touching it. If there is a pregnant woman at home, it is best not to raise it. During pregnancy, women's bodies undergo major changes, and the scent of flowers may cause discomfort or nausea.

3. Prevent allergies

People who are allergic to pollen are not suitable for growing hydrangeas. If you accidentally come into contact with hydrangeas and develop allergies, redness or swelling, seek medical attention immediately or take anti-allergic drugs.
