Is it poisonous?

Amaryllis is a plant of the Amaryllidaceae family with huge bulbs. The bulbs of these plants contain lycorine and narcissine, which are slightly toxic and cannot be eaten. Accidental ingestion may cause adverse reactions such as vomiting and diarrhea.

Can it be placed indoors?

Amaryllis has brightly colored flowers and bright green leaves, and is a flower with extremely high ornamental value. Although the bulbs are slightly toxic, they do not affect home cultivation. Many common flowers in households are poisonous, such as daffodils, jasmine, and Euphorbia milii. In daily maintenance, place it where children cannot reach it. As long as you do not touch the juice and wash your hands in time after touching it, it is basically harmless to people.

But don't place Amaryllis in the bedroom. Amaryllis carries out photosynthesis in the sunlight during the day and releases oxygen, but in the dark environment at night, it absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, affecting people's sleep quality. Try to place Amaryllis in the living room.
