Can pregnant women keep it at home?

cannot.

Rhododendron is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Among all ornamental flowers and trees, it can be said to have beautiful flowers and leaves. It can be grown on the ground or in pots and has a wide range of uses. China is known as a treasure trove of rhododendron resources because of the large number and variety of rhododendrons. But you would never imagine that the tiny azalea is actually poisonous.

Rhododendron is somewhat toxic. If you accidentally consume its nectar or leaves, you will experience poisoning reactions such as nausea, pain, vomiting, tearing, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to death. The most toxic azalea is the yellow azalea, which pregnant women should not keep at home. It is recommended that other varieties of azalea should not be grown if there are pregnant women at home. If you do grow them, try to place them where the pregnant woman cannot come into direct contact with them.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with keeping rhododendrons at home, but pregnant women are in a sensitive period, so it is better to be careful. But rhododendrons at home are very useful! Rhododendron can be used as medicine, which has the effects of lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, reducing inflammation, and nourishing the skin and promoting blood circulation. Extracting azelaic acid and making it into cosmetics has certain beauty benefits, but don't try this at home.
