Therefore, if it is kept indoors, it will not be exposed to sunlight, which will cause the plant to not grow healthily and vigorously, and may even fail to bloom successfully, which deviates from the original intention of cultivation.

3. Toxicity:

1. Spread toxicity. Although this plant is very ornamental and many people grow it, we can also often see this flower in our lives. But it still cannot be ignored that it has certain toxicity. If it is placed indoors, the human body will be exposed to it for a long time, but in fact this plant will emit tiny toxic particles. If people are exposed to these particles for a long time, they will experience allergies or skin itching, so this plant is not suitable for indoors.

If poisoned, symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting will appear. Breathing may suddenly become very difficult, and blood may be seen when going to the toilet. It is very dangerous. Although adults understand its characteristics and know how to avoid this situation, if there are children at home, they may pick the flowers without knowing it and cause the stem juice to get on their hands and be ingested by mistake, which is very dangerous.

3. Harm to pregnant women.

Therefore, remember not to grow this plant indoors.
