Is Poinsettia suitable for indoor placement?

1. Is it suitable for indoor use?

Poinsettia is not suitable for indoor use because the alkaloids in the plant can cause great trouble to people if they come into contact with or accidentally eat them. Especially for families with babies, the brightly colored flowers of the plant may be accidentally ingested by babies, so special attention needs to be paid. If possible, it is recommended to place it in the courtyard, balcony or high place. It is okay to just use it for viewing indoors.

Although it is risky to place it indoors, it also has a certain purification ability. It can absorb dust in the air very well and increase the humidity to a certain extent. Moreover, it is quite ornamental, with red flowers and green leaves, which looks very festive.

2. Can it be placed in the bedroom?

It is best not to keep it in the bedroom for two reasons. The first is that the environment of the bedroom is not conducive to the growth of the plant. If it is placed there for a long time, it is easy to grow undesirably. The second is that although it has purification capabilities, it will also hinder people’s normal sleep at night. Therefore, it is not recommended to place it in the sleeping area.
