Is Begonia poisonous?

Is this plant poisonous?

Although we say that this plant can be used as a medicinal material, as a plant it is somewhat toxic, but it is not serious. If poisoned, it may cause skin itching, sore throat, vomiting, etc. However, there is no need to worry too much, because its toxicity lies in the interior, that is, in the juice of its stems, leaves, flowers and other parts. In other words, placing it next to us usually does not cause any harm to us. As long as we don't accidentally ingest it, the human body will not absorb any toxicity. If you want to keep it at home, we need to pay attention to some issues.

Precautions

First of all, of course, we must prevent children and pet cats and dogs at home from accidentally eating this plant, because children and small animals generally have a strong curiosity about bright things. So, to prevent potential damage, the plant needs to be placed up high or somewhere else that is difficult for children to reach.

In addition, this plant is not suitable to be placed in the bedroom, because it will make the human nervous system in an excited state, making it impossible to achieve the purpose of resting in the bedroom, and it is easy to cause insomnia and other phenomena. Another point is that the lighting in the bedroom is relatively poor, so its growth and development will also be affected. Therefore, we can put it in places with good lighting such as the living room or balcony. Even if you place it in the bedroom, it is best to move it out at night.

Also, if friends and relatives visiting your home are unaware of the toxicity of this plant, it is best to remind them in advance to avoid unexpected situations.
