We can experience completely different feelings when we see the color of the sky change...
There are indoor plants that cannot be kept at home - I would like to mention the photos and names of these flowers in this article. We all subconsciously strive for unity with nature, some have a summer cottage, and others, in the absence of it, strive to create a green corner in their apartment. Sometimes we are impressed by the beauty and bright colors of another flower, and we strive to purchase it as soon as possible in order to decorate our home.
When buying a flower, we don’t always think about the consequences and sometimes we start to feel unwell or our pets suddenly get sick. Among the inhabitants of the green world there are a lot of poisonous representatives, and sometimes the most beautiful of them turn out to be absolutely unsuitable for home keeping.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home? Of course, it is not possible to describe them all here, but I would like to focus on the most common ones - those whose attractive appearance we admire in the windows of flower shops. Some varieties contain toxic compounds and release poisons and harmful pollen into the atmosphere. Some flowers are not recommended to be planted where you sleep. If you have small children or inquisitive four-legged pets who want to try everything, you should be doubly careful and attentive when choosing home flowers.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home?
The simplest safety rules are to use garden or regular latex gloves when in contact with green residents. If you are pruning or removing branches and foliage, use a special knife. The tools you use in the kitchen should not come into contact with plants. Hands, as well as all cutting or auxiliary objects, should be thoroughly washed upon completion of maintenance work. Remember that individual flowers can actively release toxic substances during irrigation or watering.
Indoor poisonous plants - photos and names
Oleander is very beautiful when in flower, but its aroma can cause dizziness, nausea or even fainting. The juice of leaves and stems can cause allergies or burns to the skin. Do not allow oleander juice to come into contact with your eyes - the consequences can be very dire, including loss of vision.
Potted spurge looks very exotic, thanks to its large, rich green leaves. In fact, the Euphorbiaceae family has many varieties: some resemble cacti, others resemble miniature palms. Some species of milkweed have spines, the pricking of which poses a threat to the body, as they are very poisonous. The foliage and stems of milkweed contain juice, which, if it enters the esophagus, causes severe poisoning, and if it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, leads to burns and irritation.
Spurge Dieffenbachia attracts the eye with its large decorative leaves with a variegated pattern. Its milky juice is very dangerous for the eyes; upon contact with the skin it causes burns, redness, and itching. If it gets into the mouth or esophagus, it causes severe burns of the mucous membranes and poisoning. If you have small children or animals at home, it is better not to get this plant!

Diefenbachia Alocasia is an ornamental foliage plant that is very poisonous. Any work with it should be carried out wearing protective gloves, and not only the juice, but even the fumes from the roots are poisonous. On all thematic forums, experienced flower growers strongly recommend using protection when transplanting alocasia. If you disturb the root (for example, cut it), you can smell a distinct cyanide odor, which is not recommended for even prolonged inhalation. If it comes into contact with the eyes, alocasia juice can cause loss of vision, even if a child or animal inadvertently licks a small drop of juice, long-term illness is guaranteed. All parts of alocasia are poisonous: they contain hydrocyanic acid, mercury, and sublimate.
Alocasia Croton has very beautiful densely growing leaves; in appearance it resembles a small tree. It blooms very rarely at home, but is often purchased precisely because of its attractive foliage. Croton is also very poisonous; if under some circumstances its juice gets into the blood (through a wound or cut when working with it), then even death is possible. In case of contact with skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water several times.
Croton
Azalea is very loved by many gardeners, it is simply luxurious, the flowers have a wide palette of shades, and it is often used to create bonsai. It is poisonous, its foliage contains glycoside and andromedotoxin, which, when ingested by a person or animal, cause poisoning, nausea, and convulsions. The most poisonous is the Sims or Indian Azalea.
Azalea Evergreen ivy from the Araliaceae family is poisonous in its entirety - the berries, foliage, and stems can be fatal to humans and animals. This vine-like plant is very attractive to cats, and they suffer from it more than others. It also poses a serious danger to people.

Ivy evergreen Cyclamen is another house favorite with decorative flowers of unusual shape. Its leaves look very attractive, but are also toxic. Particularly dangerous are cyclamen tubers, which contain a strong poison, similar in strength to the poison of curare. When ingested, it causes a sharp deterioration in health, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and loss of consciousness.
Cyclamen Adenium attracts flower growers with its exotic appearance, which is given to it by thick aerial roots. On top it is decorated with numerous flowers of bright colors and different shapes. Adenium is very poisonous, its juice provokes poisoning and causes burns upon contact with the skin. It should be borne in mind that all its parts contain toxins; this plant is especially harmful for asthmatics. The milky juice of adenium is capable of penetrating into the blood through the skin, so think more than once before bringing it into your home.
Adenium Monstera can most often be found in offices and public institutions, but flower growers often place it in their homes. It looks very impressive, grows to impressive sizes, and has large carved leaves. Monstera juice is very toxic; if it comes into contact with the skin, it causes a burn and severe itching. If it gets into your eyes, it can significantly damage your vision. If a child or animal eats even a small part of the leaf, poisoning or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract is inevitable.
Monstera Brovallia is very attractive, it is not for nothing that its full name is Brovallia the Beautiful. This small bush produces flowers of all shades of blue, lilac, and white. Alas, all parts of Brovallia are poisonous, so its contact with the skin or mucous membranes must be avoided. This flower attracts pets, but its juice is very dangerous for them.
Browallia, photo:
Browallia Aglaonema amazes with the beauty of its leaves; they are large, dense, with an incredible pattern of diversity. Despite the fact that it has a positive effect on the air in the apartment, cleans and disinfects it, it is still poisonous. The juice is the main danger to people and animals, although the berries are also toxic. If the flower is even slightly damaged (for example, a leaf is broken off or scratched during replanting), the juice will be released immediately. When performing any planting or care work with aglaonema, you should wear protective gloves.
Indoor flowers add color to our lives, create mood and homeliness. They can bring great benefits to their owners. Therefore, you need to choose them correctly, since certain types not only enliven the room, but also improve well-being, warm you up in the cold and are simply pleasing to the eye.
Beneficial properties of house plants
Here are the main ones:
- Carbon dioxide accumulates in poorly ventilated rooms. Flowers absorb it and saturate the air with oxygen.
- Medicinal plant species treat cuts, burns, colds and other ailments.
- In winter, indoor air becomes dry due to the heating system, which affects the condition of the skin and well-being. Flowers help humidify the air.
- Plants absorb electromagnetic radiation that is created by household appliances and home appliances. It can affect a person’s well-being, causing insomnia and headaches.
- We are surrounded by objects that can release toxic substances. City air contains a lot of dust, exhaust gases, and heavy metals from emissions from factories and enterprises. Plants purify the air, kill microbes with the help of their phytoncides and absorb harmful impurities.
- Popular beliefs give indoor flowers the properties of bringing happiness, harmony, tranquility, etc. We included in our review some plants that, according to signs, are useful for their owners.
