Some lovers of indoor floriculture are unaware that their pets, along with decorating the home and the useful function of absorbing carbon dioxide instead of the released oxygen, can cause serious malaise and even poisoning. Therefore, it is important to know which plants are allergic, can provoke headaches if kept in the bedroom, and when to use protective gloves when caring for the flower
What colors do not belong in the bedroom
First of all, flowers that have a strong aroma should not be placed in the bedroom. This applies to both indoor plants and bouquets. Such a neighborhood is especially dangerous if you have a tendency to allergic reactions. Then such an innocent oversight as a bouquet left in the bedroom will easily turn into a headache, shortness of breath or an itchy rash in the morning.
The list of indoor plants undesirable for the bedroom includes monstera, azalea, primrose, oleander. The pleasant scent of oleander or azalea with a long-term proximity of a flower often causes dizziness over time, then a headache. If you place them in the bedroom, you can say goodbye to healthy sleep, you will not get a good rest. In addition, the sap of these plants is poisonous, so you need to take care of them with gloves.
Monstera, although not famous for its lush flowering, but its leaves also secrete substances that cause headaches in humans. Monstera juice is very dangerous. It causes skin burns, and upon penetration into the body, severe poisoning.
Delicate primrose is also fraught with potential danger. During flowering, it releases substances into the air that provoke nausea and vomiting. But even when there are no buds on the plant, it remains dangerous, since the leaves and stems contain poisons. It is worth touching them with unprotected hands, after a while this place will burn and itch. Therefore, after contact with the flower, you need to wash your hands.
Take care of the mucous
Many indoor plants do not harm, being in the rooms next to us, and even on the contrary - they clean the space of toxins, fumes of varnishes and furniture glue, soot and burning in the kitchen. Such selfless heroes include aglaonema, ivy, spathiphyllum. But if the juice of such plants gets on the mucous membrane, burns and poisoning occur. Therefore, when transplanting, reproducing, removing yellowed leaves from a flowerpot, you need to wear rubber gloves, and then additionally wash your hands with soap.
Also dangerous for the mucous membrane and open wounds are such handsome men as philodendron, beautiful brovallia, pachypodium. The care of such plants should not be entrusted to children. In addition, they should be kept out of the reach of pets.
Caution - poison
Some representatives of the flora, having accidentally entered the gastrointestinal tract, cause severe poisoning. For example, some types of cactus are quite edible, and by removing the thorns, you can make a great dish from them. But trichocereus does not belong to this category. This cactus causes paralysis of the nervous system.
Adenium poison is used to poison arrowheads. In general, extreme care must be taken when handling succulents, cacti and euphorbia.
Such a seemingly harmless indoor flower like ficus also has toxic sap. The penetration of ficus juice into the respiratory tract is dangerous - an allergic reaction causes anaphylactic shock. And when it comes into contact with the mucous membrane, irritation occurs.
Aloe is a medicinal plant, but we must not forget that any medicine in excess amounts turns into a real poison. And an overdose of its juice is also extremely dangerous. In addition, aloe derivatives are not recommended for women in position - this can threaten with termination of pregnancy.

Plants That Are Dangerous To Pets
