Relevant information shows that tuberose is not suitable for indoor cultivation, and its fragrance is harmful to the human body. The fragrance emitted by tuberose can make patients with high blood pressure and heart disease feel dizzy, depressed and uncomfortable, and even cause symptoms such as chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Therefore, for the sake of health, it is best not to place tuberose indoors, but to use it as an outdoor ornamental plant.

Tuberose is native to tropical regions of Asia. As we all know, the daytime temperature in tropical regions is extremely high, and flying insects do not like to come out during the day, but when the temperature drops in the evening and night, flying insects will come out to find food. At this time, tuberose emits a strong fragrance, attracting flying insects to help it spread pollen. Over a long period of time, tuberose has developed the habit of emitting fragrance at night. However, this smell is very harmful to the human body. If tuberose is placed indoors for a long time, it can cause coughing, dizziness, and even asthma and insomnia.
