In daily life, raising plants can bring many benefits. For example, some plants can purify the air, improve the quality of the indoor environment, and be beneficial to physical recovery. Plants like green radish and spider plant are easy to maintain and can add vitality to the interior. Moreover, the process of taking care of plants can become a relaxing activity, diverting attention from physical discomfort and bringing psychological comfort. But in general, raising plants is of positive significance in many aspects for people with poor health. However, for friends with poor physical conditions, they need to be extremely cautious when choosing flowers. The following five kinds of flowers, due to their special properties, are recommended that people with poor health avoid raising them as much as possible. This is not superstition, but a summary based on practical experience and scientific principles.
Flowers and plants with excessive pollen
Pollen is an important substance in the plant reproduction process, but at the same time it is also the "natural enemy" of many people with allergic constitutions. Some flowers, such as lilies and hyacinths, release a large amount of pollen and spread widely, easily causing allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, and skin itching, posing a threat to respiratory and skin health. If there are already such flowers at home, they should be placed outdoors with good ventilation or away from living areas such as bedrooms and living rooms as much as possible. People with allergic constitutions should be more cautious in choosing flowers or reduce outdoor activity time during the flowering season.
Flowers and plants that are prone to diseases
Some flowers are naturally weak in resistance and are easily invaded by pests and diseases, such as some varieties of ferns and succulents. These flowers are not only difficult to maintain but may also become hotbeds for germs and pests, negatively affecting indoor air quality. Choose flower varieties with strong disease resistance for maintenance. Regularly check the leaves and branches of plants and deal with them immediately once signs of pests and diseases are found. Keep the indoor environment clean and reduce the chance of germ breeding.
Flowers and plants with peculiar smell
Although some flowers are beautiful, the smell they emit is unbearable, such as evening primrose and lantana camara. Staying in the peculiar smell emitted by these flowers for a long time may cause discomfort symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and have an adverse impact on the respiratory system. Try to avoid placing such flowers indoors or near living areas. If maintenance is required, locations such as outdoors or well-ventilated balconies can be selected.
Flowers and plants with bad meanings
In traditional Chinese culture, flowers are often given various meanings. Although the meaning is subjective and varies from person to person, some flowers that are widely regarded as having bad meanings (such as hibiscus in some areas is regarded as an ominous sign) may bring unnecessary psychological burden and pressure. Respect personal beliefs and cultural customs and avoid raising flowers with bad meanings. Choose flower varieties with auspicious and positive meanings for maintenance.
Poisonous and thorny flowers and plants
Some flowers contain toxins or have sharp thorns, such as cactus and alocasia macrorrhiza. If these flowers are accidentally touched or eaten by mistake during the maintenance process, they may cause harm to the skin, eyes and even life.
Place such flowers in positions that are not easily touched, especially to avoid contact by children and pets. Understand the toxicity and protective measures of flowers before maintenance. Conduct regular safety inspections to ensure there are no safety hazards.
People with poor health should fully consider their own health conditions and flower characteristics when choosing flowers. Through scientific and reasonable maintenance methods, let flowers become a beautiful scenery in our lives rather than a health hazard.
