This is manifested by skin rashes and headaches.
Dieffenbachia
Although Dieffenbachia cleans well and even humidifies the air, however, this plant is not suitable for living quarters, as it has a very poisonous milky juice. When in contact with open areas it causes ulcers and severe irritation. It is more dangerous if the juice gets into the eyes or into the mouth. In the first case, blindness threatens, in the second - severe swelling of the throat and tongue, and the person may simply suffocate.
For pets, Dieffenbachia's poison is deadly.

Spurge
So this plant is called because of its milky sap. You need to know that milkweed juice is poisonous, so keeping it in the house is dangerous. On the skin, it causes redness, burning, blisters. Milkweed juice is especially dangerous for the eyes, it can cause inflammation, temporary blindness and conjunctivitis. You should not taste it - it will cause poisoning, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and poor circulation.

Allergenic

Folk omens
There are a number popular signs, which attribute different magical properties to plants. Or maybe this is the result of centuries-old observations of the people. Here is some of them:
- A money tree (Fat Woman) brings money into the house if it has a lot of round green leaves resembling coins. If the plant is sick and the leaves fall off, nothing good can be expected in terms of money.
- Zamioculcas is called the "Dollar Palm" because it is believed that this plant attracts currency into the house.
- V recent times such a plant as "Upstart Flower" became widespread. But it cannot be kept at home, because at the astral level, the energy of this flower is programmed to bring poverty to its owner.
- Dracaena Sandera or "Lucky Bamboo" brings career growth and good luck to its owner.
- The golden tree (Akukuba) reveals talents in a person and promotes their development, brings prosperity to the house and protects from enemies.
- Croton is called the protector of the house. He takes away all negative energy, brings harmony to the house, calms hyperactive people, allows its owner to put his thoughts in order, get out of depression and crisis. It also gives strength and promotes development creativity... There is a belief that a person who planted or acquired Kraton in a year will be able to radically change his life.
- It is not advisable to place the ficus in the bedroom, otherwise the relationship between the spouses may deteriorate. But in other rooms it is possible, especially since it neutralizes negative energy and removes aggression.
- Bamboo is able to turn negative energy into positive energy.
- A paper flower (Bougainvillea) very rarely grows in houses and apartments, but its owner will never have difficulties with finances.
- Cacti also attract money into the house, and still do not allow their owners to be wasteful.
- Spitafillum is called "Women's Happiness". The popular name speaks for itself, since unmarried girls this plant helps to find a happy family, and gives peace and happiness to married people.
- Why can't you keep dry flowers in your house? The answer is simple: charm and feminine energy simply dry up, and therefore men pay less attention to women who have such flowers in the house.
- Why can't you keep curly flowers at home? The presence of such colors suggests that your man will be fond of every skirt. It is better to keep erect and powerful plants in the room, not climbing.
- Why can't artificial flowers be kept at home? Since they have inanimate energy and are more suitable for a cemetery.
There are few people who do not have at least one small pot of flowers in their apartment. Indoor plants can successfully complement any style, even if you are an adherent of minimalism or strict high-tech. When buying plants, hardly anyone will tell you about the "pitfalls", and yet they can literally poison your life! Quartblog has compiled a list of plants to say no to in your home. You will be surprised how many harmless-looking flowers are there!
1. Azalea
Beautiful in appearance and deadly in taste - this is how this flower can be briefly described. Azalea looks very impressive on any windowsill, differs abundant flowering and unpretentious to care for, but its leaves contain toxic substances. If they enter the digestive tract, they can even cause toxic shock! If curious pets live in your apartment, eager to pinch off a leaf or two from the plant, we recommend that you immediately send the azalea to the trash can - this way you will extend the life of your pet for many years.
2. Anthurium
Not the most popular, but a very effective plant that hides a serious danger behind a bright appearance. If, in the case of azalea, it had to be tasted, then the anthurium can be simply cut off or transplanted into another pot: the roots of the plant and its juice contain toxic substances, so even if the juice just gets on the skin, you will have a burn. If there are children in the house, this plant should be categorically discarded.
3. Oleander
If you have watched the movie "White Oleander", then you probably know how much evil lurks in this delicate plant: Oleander flowers are very poisonous, but their danger does not end there. Even their scent can make you dizzy, especially if you keep the oleander indoors in winter. Therefore, it is better to replace this flower with something more harmless.
4. Dieffenbachia
Dieffenbachia can cause laryngeal edema if you taste its leaves. In especially sensitive people and children, such an action can cause poisoning. When transplanting or pruning, the plant will burn you with its juice, and if there are allergy sufferers in the house, then they will obviously have a hard time with such a green "neighbor".
5. Monstera
I don’t know about you, but I personally find it difficult to understand how people come to mind to settle such a plant in their homes: it was clearly called such a monstrous name for a reason! In addition, it is rumored that the monstera sucks energy from sleeping people, due to which its leaves become large and fleshy. By the way, this is why it is recommended to be installed in offices: absorbing all the negativity, it creates peace and quiet in the room.
If such stories do not make the proper impression on you and you are used to believing only the facts, then here they are: monstera juice is really poisonous and can cause not only swelling, but even conjunctivitis.
6. Begonia
Beautiful begonia can even be beneficial: the plant produces antimicrobial substances. However, will they be safe for allergy sufferers and pets? Both those and others can react to them completely ambiguously. In addition, begonias contain oxalic acid salts that can cause severe burns. oral cavity... So it is better to replace this beautiful plant, for example, with roses.
7. Fern
Various fern varieties are often the basis winter garden: they are really very beautiful and can turn any room into a real enchanted forest! There is also an opinion that the fern can protect the house from evil spirits and reconcile the people living in it. Unfortunately, all these magical properties will have to be abandoned if allergy sufferers live in the apartment.
8. Orchid
Not so long ago, the orchid was considered something rare and exotic, but now it is often grown right on the windowsill, arranging real mini-gardens of orchids. If, while reading this, you look in horror at your impressive collection, let us reassure you: orchids are not poisonous! But they can cause dizziness and even headaches in people who are especially sensitive to odors. Keep this in mind as you fill your bedroom space with lovely pots.
9. Ficus
Ficus, at first glance, is a rather harmless and even boring plant, which is usually placed in offices in impressive pots. Meanwhile, at night, it insidiously absorbs oxygen, so the neighborhood with a ficus is unacceptable in a small bedroom. Also, do not place it in the nursery: who knows what such oxygen "greed" of the plant will lead to.
10. Ivy
Finally, we will share with you a couple more "legends": despite the fact that ivy is a rather harmless plant and even purifies the air, it can be the culprit that you are still not married: in the old days they believed that a girl who is engaged in growing ivy, will forever be a spinster.
This is not the first year you have been married, so you look at your beautiful ivy with affection? Alas, here he is cunning too - he can drive your spouse out of the house! However, it is up to you to believe it or not.

May 23, 2013 2:14 pmIndoor flowers are one of the most important elements home interior. They help to create coziness in the house and give your room a personality. However, everyone knows that not all flowers can be grown at home! Some flowers are poisonous, others can cause an unpleasant reaction in allergy sufferers or people with certain diseases, while others are not recommended to keep in an apartment according to Feng Shui or folk signs ... Let's figure it out: what flowers cannot be kept at home?
Dieffenbachia. An indoor tree with large yellow-green leaves is very beautiful, but dangerous! Its juice is poisonous and can cause serious poisoning in a child who decides to taste the leaf. Also, you yourself can burn yourself with the juice of this plant if you cut off shoots or leaves from it.
Once this happened to me, my friend did not wash the knife well, after trimming this plant, I then cut off my sausage with this knife, when I ate, it felt like I was eating broken glass, then I was treated for another week. So whether it is worth starting such a plant at home, decide for yourself.
Philodendron. The leaves of this plant contain poisonous acids. If a child eats a leaf of this plant, he can also be seriously poisoned.
Oleander. The sap of this plant can cause blindness, and the scent of flowers itself can cause dizziness.
Croton, as well as other euphorbiases. Poisonous burning juice. Causes burns if in contact with skin and death if absorbed into blood.
Steller dwarf, Japanese rodea. These plants also have a dangerous sap. If a child accidentally swallows a piece of this plant, the burning juice will cause swelling of the vocal cords, in worst case it can come to numbness.
Azalea (Sims rhododendron). If you eat a leaf of this beautiful, but dangerous plant, intestinal colic and cramps will begin.
Tulip Gesner, bashful mimosa. People who long time are in close contact with these plants, hair begins to fall out until complete baldness.
Invisible enemies.
It often happens that insomnia, dizziness, headache begin to torment us for no particular reason ... Or an allergy suddenly arises, and we find ourselves in complete confusion: what for? In this case, you should take a closer look at the plants that are in your room. Perhaps it's all about them ...
Lilies... At night, they absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which can lead to morning headaches for no apparent reason. In addition, the strong scent of lilies can cause insomnia. It is strongly discouraged to keep these flowers in the bedroom.
Ferns... Just like lilies, they convert oxygen to carbon dioxide at night, which can cause headaches in the morning.
Orchids... Their strong smell stimulates the nervous system and can also lead to insomnia.
Hydrangea... The particles emitted by this plant can cause allergic reactions on the skin.
Tuberose... Also emits particles that stimulate the sense of smell. People suffering from hypertension and other heart diseases, inhaling its aroma for a long time, feel discomfort, dizziness and depression may occur.
"Black cats" and other feng shui.
Also on the Internet you can hear a lot of recommendations from bioenergetics and Feng Shui specialists about which plants are energy vampires, and which ones, on the contrary, energize, about which plants in which area of the house is better to grow ...
There is one piece of advice on this topic. If you are doing Feng Shui, do it seriously and understand this teaching in detail, and do not listen to the advice of "specialists" of unknown qualifications on the Internet.
So I won't tell you anything about zones and energy, and in the end I will just name a few well-known folk beliefs about indoor plants that have nothing to do with Feng Shui.
Climbing plants like ivy They do not recommend keeping them at home, because, according to popular belief, then men will not stay in this house, and the hostess will not see a happy and long life in marriage.
Cactus... There are several beliefs about them at once:
If you keep cacti at home, your husband will become a drunkard.
If you keep cacti in a girl's bedroom, the girl will not marry successfully, and in general she will be deprived of fans.
Cacti neutralize the harm caused by a computer monitor ... However, this is more likely not even a belief, but a scientific myth that had nothing to do with the truth even when computer monitors really emitted harmful radiation. Now, in the overwhelming majority of cases, liquid crystal monitors are used, which are completely safe for health.
Palm... Regarding this beautiful, large and unusual plant popular belief there is only one. If a palm tree was presented to you, then you cannot bring it into your home - from this, as the belief claims, there will be great grief. The belief is silent about what should be done with the donated palm tree so that there is no great grief. But I suppose that if you don't bring a palm tree into your house, but roll it on a scooter, then this will be quite enough.)) At least, positive emotions and the invaluable life experience gained in the process of "rolling" palm trees into your house will help you in the future to treat any grief in your life more philosophically.
For example, before the war, met in every home, was considered a symbol of well-being family life, and after the war - turned into a "widow's flower". There are many such examples. It is worth listening to folk wisdom especially when it comes about well-known plants.
Flowers to grow according to signs
There are many signs about indoor plants, some of which are perplexing. For example, it is believed that flowers will grow and bloom better if you do not buy them in a store, but steal them, pinch off a twig from a beautiful, healthy bush.
Leave some coins for the mother plant to “soften” the sin.
If indoor flowers stably die when good care- this speaks of the poor energy of the room or problems in the life of the owner. If the plant stood in the house for a long time and died before reaching the allotted life, this is Bad sign, a warning about a possible serious illness of someone in the household.
Some flowers absorb a lot of negativity and die, taking away energy dirt with them.
For the office, the death of a flower in a pot is a harbinger of a change in the company.
There are many beliefs about flowers that cannot be kept at home. According to folk signs, vines, curly indoor flowers - they are considered "muzhegons", are included in the list of prohibited plants.
It is undesirable to accept potted potted flowers as a gift. Together with the plant, the donor, perhaps, gets rid of his problems, betrays them. Give a symbolic payment for each pot with a flower, then the "plant will decide" that it was bought, and the new owner does not need the hardships of the previous owner.
Having heard enough signs and superstitions about what flowers cannot be kept in the house, do not rush to throw out your indoor pets. If, before receiving negative information, you did not feel discomfort from being close to the "green friend", you were happy with its bloom, you can ignore the frightening warnings.
What flowers can be kept at home
The question of whether it is possible to keep a rose at home refers rather to a Chinese beauty. About hibiscus or chinese rose there are frightening signs. It is believed that the appearance of flowers on a plant is a signal of the imminent death of one of the household members or their loved ones. But with good care and positive energy, hibiscus can bloom all year round, there will be no tragic consequences in this case.
It is recommended to keep it in the house if the relationship between the spouses has "calmed down". The flower will help bring back the extinguished passion. Positive-minded people can safely acquire hibiscus. Positive interpretation of plant flowering:
- For a young couple - an addition to the family;
- For a girl of marriageable age - a quick wedding;
- For a lady aged - rejuvenation.
As for thorny plants (cacti, roses, rose hips), they can block positive energy and do nothing to create a pleasant atmosphere.
But signs about flowers in the house, on the contrary, recommend keeping a rose in the room of a young girl. The rosette helps to maintain the chastity of the young lady, and attracts the groom to the young lady for marriage. In the room of a married couple, the queen of flowers harmonizes relations.
Home flowers not only delight their appearance but also attract money luck... Among these plants:
- crassula (money tree);
- zamiakulkas, geranium;
- Dracaena Sandera (lucky bamboo);
- lemon;
- pakhira;
- scindapsus;
- aucuba;
- bougainvillea;
To enhance magical power the selected plant should be placed in the southeastern part of the house, and well looked after.
When choosing a green money magnet, pay attention to other properties of plants. For example, the scindapsus liana is included in the list of flowers that cannot be kept in the house, it is considered a "muzhegon".
Fat woman
Do you want to bring prosperity to your home? Plant Crassula! This succulent plant with fleshy leaves is called money tree... Its oval leaves, falling off, dry up, acquire a silvery hue, and become like coins. There are signs of how to properly plant a fat woman so that it accompanies monetary luck:
- You need to pinch off a shoot from a bush from rich people, and not buy a ready-made plant.
- Crassula must be planted in a red pot, in extreme cases in a green or black flower pot.
- At the bottom of the pot with the plant during planting, you should put several large coins.
If the succulent "deigns" to bloom - the owner can expect an improvement in his financial situation. But if the leaves of Crassula fall or the plant gets sick, this is a harbinger of empty money spending in the family, ruin. You should get rid of the flower pot or pay close attention to the ratio of income and expenses.

Keeping this "exotic" in the house is worth not only because of the rituals of money magic, but also to decorate the interior. The eternally shiny leaves noticeably decorate the room and improve the mood of the inhabitants.
Cactus
Oddly enough, cacti are also considered money plants. The thorny dwellers of windowsills have an aggressive energy that increases the business acumen of the plant owner, improves mental abilities and prevents money from wasting. And according to popular belief, thieves are scared away.
