There are indoor plants that cannot be kept at home - I would like to mention the photos and names of these flowers in this article. We all subconsciously strive for unity with nature, some have a summer cottage, and others, in the absence of it, strive to create a green corner in their apartment. Sometimes we are impressed by the beauty and bright colors of another flower, and we strive to purchase it as soon as possible in order to decorate our home.
When buying a flower, we don’t always think about the consequences and sometimes we start to feel unwell or our pets suddenly get sick. Among the inhabitants of the green world there are a lot of poisonous representatives, and sometimes the most beautiful of them turn out to be absolutely unsuitable for home keeping.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home? Of course, it is not possible to describe them all here, but I would like to focus on the most common ones - those whose attractive appearance we admire in the windows of flower shops. Some varieties contain toxic compounds and release poisons and harmful pollen into the atmosphere. Some flowers are not recommended to be planted where you sleep. If you have small children or inquisitive four-legged pets who want to try everything, you should be doubly careful and attentive when choosing home flowers.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home?
The simplest safety rules are to use gardening or regular latex gloves when in contact with green inhabitants. If you are pruning or removing branches and foliage, use a special knife. The tools you use in the kitchen should not come into contact with plants. Hands, as well as all cutting or auxiliary objects, should be thoroughly washed upon completion of maintenance work. Remember that individual flowers can actively release toxic substances during irrigation or watering.
Indoor poisonous plants - photos and names
Oleander is very beautiful when in flower, but its aroma can cause dizziness, nausea or even fainting. The juice of leaves and stems can cause allergies or burns to the skin. Do not allow oleander juice to come into contact with your eyes - the consequences can be very dire, including loss of vision.
Potted spurge looks very exotic, thanks to its large, rich green leaves. In fact, the Euphorbiaceae family has many varieties: some resemble cacti, others resemble miniature palms. Some species of milkweed have spines, the pricking of which poses a threat to the body, as they are very poisonous. The foliage and stems of milkweed contain juice, which, if it enters the esophagus, causes severe poisoning, and if it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes, leads to burns and irritation.
Spurge Dieffenbachia attracts the eye with its large decorative leaves with a variegated pattern. Its milky juice is very dangerous for the eyes; upon contact with the skin it causes burns, redness, and itching. If it gets into the mouth or esophagus, it causes severe burns of the mucous membranes and poisoning. If you have small children or animals at home, it is better not to get this plant!

Diefenbachia Alocasia is an ornamental foliage plant that is very poisonous. Any work with it should be carried out wearing protective gloves, and not only the juice, but even the fumes from the roots are poisonous. On all thematic forums, experienced flower growers strongly recommend using protection when transplanting alocasia. If you disturb the root (for example, cut it), you can smell a distinct cyanide odor, which is not recommended for even prolonged inhalation. If it comes into contact with the eyes, alocasia juice can cause loss of vision, even if a child or animal inadvertently licks a small drop of juice, long-term illness is guaranteed. All parts of alocasia are poisonous: they contain hydrocyanic acid, mercury, and sublimate.
Alocasia Croton has very beautiful densely growing leaves; in appearance it resembles a small tree. It blooms very rarely at home, but is often purchased precisely because of its attractive foliage. Croton is also very poisonous; if under some circumstances its juice gets into the blood (through a wound or cut when working with it), then even death is possible. In case of contact with skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water several times.
Croton Azalea is very loved by many gardeners, it is simply luxurious, the flowers have a wide palette of shades, and it is often used to create bonsai. It is poisonous, its foliage contains glycoside and andromedotoxin, which, when ingested by a person or animal, cause poisoning, nausea, and convulsions. The most poisonous is the Sims or Indian Azalea.
Azalea Evergreen ivy from the Araliaceae family is poisonous in its entirety - the berries, foliage, and stems can be fatal to humans and animals. This vine-like plant is very attractive to cats, and they suffer from it more than others. It also poses a serious danger to people.

Ivy evergreen Cyclamen is another house favorite with decorative flowers of unusual shape. Its leaves look very attractive, but are also toxic. Particularly dangerous are cyclamen tubers, which contain a strong poison, similar in strength to the poison of curare. When ingested, it causes a sharp deterioration in health, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and loss of consciousness.
Cyclamen Adenium attracts flower growers with its exotic appearance, which is given to it by thick aerial roots. On top it is decorated with numerous flowers of bright colors and different shapes. Adenium is very poisonous, its juice provokes poisoning and causes burns upon contact with the skin. It should be borne in mind that all its parts contain toxins; this plant is especially harmful for asthmatics. The milky juice of adenium is capable of penetrating into the blood through the skin, so think more than once before bringing it into your home.
Adenium Monstera can most often be found in offices and public institutions, but flower growers often place it in their homes. It looks very impressive, grows to impressive sizes, and has large carved leaves. Monstera juice is very toxic; if it comes into contact with the skin, it causes a burn and severe itching. If it gets into your eyes, it can significantly damage your vision. If a child or animal eats even a small part of the leaf, poisoning or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract is inevitable.
Monstera Brovallia is very attractive, it is not for nothing that its full name is Brovallia the Beautiful. This small bush produces flowers of all shades of blue, lilac, and white. Alas, all parts of Brovallia are poisonous, so its contact with the skin or mucous membranes must be avoided. This flower attracts pets, but its juice is very dangerous for them.

Browallia Aglaonema amazes with the beauty of its leaves; they are large, dense, with an incredible pattern of diversity. Despite the fact that it has a positive effect on the air in the apartment, cleans and disinfects it, it is still poisonous. The juice is the main danger to people and animals, although the berries are also toxic. If the flower is even slightly damaged (for example, a leaf is broken off or scratched during replanting), the juice will be released immediately. When performing any planting or care work with aglaonema, you should wear protective gloves.
Superstitions and signs about indoor flowers will tell you how to improve your life with the help of properly selected plants and which varieties should be avoided when placing them in the house.
In the article:
It is believed that a house where indoor plants die is filled with negative energy. This is wrong. Most plants, when you take good care of them and devote a considerable part of your time, can also receive negative programs from their owners. 
When one plant withers, it means that it has warded off a strong evil eye, damage or serious illness. But this does not mean that there is negative energy in the house. Thank the dead flower, and then bury it on the street or in the area.

Some plants are whimsical, and some of them react to loud sounds. A good explanation for the sign that says: flowers do not take root in a house where scandals are a frequent occurrence.

It is believed that it is impossible to give plants in pots; this transfers the failures and problems of the giver to the person for whom the gift is intended. When you receive one, give a coin of any denomination in return. So the plant will think that it was bought and has received a new owner, and it does not need the energy of the old one.

Plants that should not be kept at home
There are a number of indoor plants that are not suitable for indoor use. This is due to the fact that they emit toxic substances that can be dangerous to animals or humans.

In addition, the above plants release poisonous juice only if they are broken, and the juice is harmful when ingested. That is, if there are no children or animals in the house, but you like the flower, you can get one.
In general, it is best to focus on your own taste and feeling of pleasure. Useful plants indoor plants serve not only to purify the air, but also to create a harmonious and cozy atmosphere.
Write about which plants should be kept at home, and vice versa, which flowers should not be kept at home and why. But it turned out to be so difficult...
Both the literature that I have at home and the Internet with the latest recommendations contradict each other and themselves so much that you have to figure it out.
And to the mutually exclusive advice are added folk signs and feng shui, which make their contribution... in general, a whole science emerges)))
I can’t say that I definitely believe that if you breed green pets religiously following what flowers must be in the house, then you will be happy. Everything would be so simple...
Nevertheless, there is a grain of truth, and a considerable one, in all this advice and it is worth listening, if only because they did not appear out of nowhere. People have been observing for years (centuries) which of them radiate positive energy, elevate their mood and performance.
And at that time scientists were drawing their conclusions: these absorb oxygen, so they have no place in the bedroom, those are poisonous - keep them away from children, well, the point is clear))
I am sharing what I personally read and heard about, and you decide to believe it or not, and add in the comments your opinion about the “useful and harmful” indoor plants you know.
Let's start with the general rules.
The main general rule is that there should be no sick, dying or even simply unkempt plants in the house. This is explained by the fact that only beautiful and healthy indoor flowers can enhance the positive energy of the home.
Cyclamen.
It is believed that they can be kept in any room. You can definitely read in more detail about what flowers should be in the house in the article.
(The list may not be complete, add other plants if you know))
Now general information about which plants should not be kept at home.
What indoor plants should not be kept at home, photo
At this point everything is very ambiguous. If a plant is “harmful” from the point of view of Feng Shui, then in Slavic traditions it is completely acceptable; if, according to popular belief, it negatively affects relationships, then it is quite possible to keep it in the kitchen, and not in the bedroom; if it is poisonous, then in a house where there are no small children and animals it would be quite appropriate.
Let's still try to sort into groups which flowers cannot be kept at home and why.
What indoor plants should you not keep at home according to Feng Shui?
According to this ancient science, cacti are prohibited in the house.
Sometimes there is an opinion that poisonous plants are also undesirable, but since I don’t know a Feng Shui master, it is not possible to find out.
About cacti. I want to say a few words in their defense, because I love them very much myself)).
Are cacti in the house good or bad?
Even Feng Shui itself is not so categorical; experts advise to be careful with these “thorns,” cacti, and milkweeds, and not to keep them in the bedroom or nursery. It is believed that they contribute to quarrels, as they make people “prickly.” But a study, kitchen or hallway are quite suitable.
And although scientists categorically state that cacti do not absorb harmful electromagnetic waves (remember how at one time everyone put small pots of cacti in front of their monitors? 😉) emanating from a TV or computer, a cactus placed in the office will be useful, it is believed that it stimulates mental activity and improves performance.
Popular superstitions do not advise unmarried women who want to meet their betrothed to keep a cactus, because it “scares off” potential suitors with its sharp needles.
But if you are already married or are not going there at all 😉 feel free to place cacti on the window in a room where you are not constantly present, since with the same thorns cacti “drive away” negative energy from your home.
Indoor plants that should not be kept at home according to folk wisdom
Surely everyone has heard that climbing plants and vines, which supposedly “do not allow” men to linger in the house, are not respected. This is, for example, Tradescantia,
Epipremnum.
Golden mustache.
Here again there are some “buts”.
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, it is climbing and ivy-like plants that are able to protect the house, repelling the attacks of “poisonous sha arrows”, that is, negative energy that comes from objects and is directed to a specific place in your apartment. They will also help compensate for the bad energy of a “defective” wall in your home.
From a scientific point of view, many of them are excellent air purifiers. Therefore, it is worth reconsidering your attitude towards curly pets.
I don’t know how Tradescantia fell out of favor as “expelling” men, since it is considered a symbol of well-being.
This is a flower that has high energy sensitivity and with its help you can determine whether there are problems at home and whether family members are depressed.
If there are such negative aspects, then the Tradescantia begins to wither, dry out, the leaves droop and fall off. If everything is in order, then it is able to charge the house with positive energy.
Houseplants that should not be kept at home for “scientific” reasons
It’s clear with poisonous plants – you just need to be careful with them. Make sure that their juice does not get into your mouth or eyes, and that children and pets do not touch them.
It is advisable to know such plants by sight.
A flower that is very popular among gardeners, but has “increased toxicity.” Even just its aroma can cause dizziness, not to mention the juice, which causes burns, poisoning if it gets into the esophagus, and if it gets on the mucous membrane of the eye, it can cause blindness. Be careful, even if there are no small children in the house, when replanting the oleander, wear gloves.
Poisonous, although less so, are:
Nightshade. 
Dieffenbachia.
Some varieties of milkweeds.
The “vampirism” of some plants is very scientifically justified. So, there is no need to place a monstera in the recreation area. Although she is not a vampire at all, she simply absorbs oxygen in large quantities, so it may feel like “positive energy has been sucked out of you.”
The same can be said about yucca.
As a result: there are simply no indoor plants that definitely shouldn’t be kept at home, that’s why they are indoors :)
I’ll add a big lyrical postscript)) The fact that indoor plants have energy and, I would even say, their own feelings and “concepts”, I was convinced by an incident that happened at work. In the office of the deputy chief, a young athletic man, there was a beautiful Chinese rose growing.
There was no doubt that she was a “woman” - the smooth curves of the branches, constantly blooming red buds and delicate appearance confirmed that she belonged to the “weaker sex”.
She was clearly not indifferent to her owner, constantly preening herself and blooming beautiful buds. But he, like many men, did not appreciate her love and, having “stared” at another - a miniature violet in a small pot, decided to replace the tall rose and pulled it out of the office into the reception area, asking an employee who was an avid summer resident to look after it.
Every day we watched as the rose got worse, it stooped, drooped its branches and sadly dropped its leaves when its former owner passed by, despite his “infidelity”, the rose continued to love him.
No matter what the experienced summer resident fertilized it, no matter how much she moved it from sun to shade and back, the rose withered away. Once again looking at the almost bald, shriveled bush, the deputy chief’s heart trembled, he moved the miniature “favorite” into the corner and brought the dying rose back to the office.
And, you know, she forgave him))) She perked up, sprouted new shoots and leaves, and soon was again adorned with delicate buds. Of course, she couldn’t be ugly in the presence of her beloved man!
So she “lived” with her owner until her old age, moving from place to place as the boss changed positions and offices, but, despite the change of situation, she never faded or wasted away, and is this really possible if there is someone nearby without which you cannot live...
I wanted to describe in the article whether it is worth growing the well-known geranium and whether to keep reeds at home. But the topic turned out to be so vast, just material for scientific work))) therefore, I will write about which specific indoor plants should be placed in certain rooms in the next article, which I will try not to linger on.
Let your “green pets” make you happy :)
Therefore, if you don’t like flowers, you don’t need to have them... By the way, it didn’t come to me right away either, only with motherhood, before that I was completely indifferent to them. Drawn to flowers "interesting situation" so to speak))
Now, my flowers nourish and protect me (they take away negativity and illnesses). And of course they make you happy! By the way, there was a case when, after the arrival of a “difficult” person, all the flowers in my office where I work died. I had to get new ones later. Like this.
We consider flowers from the point of view of energy. So, there are flowers for the home, and there are flowers for offices, for large rooms. There are “male” flowers - with male energy, and there are “female” flowers - “women”. When one species prevails in a house, this may affect the composition of the household itself. That is, if there are many “female” flowers in the house, there is more feminine energy in the house, and it is already difficult for men to survive there. And vice versa. It's better to keep a 50/50 balance.
Flowers grow quickly and look healthy only with positive energy. Your indoor plants serve as an indicator of your family (work) atmosphere. If something is wrong with your pets, they get sick, the leaves turn yellow, they die, you can expect problems...
When you come to visit someone, you can easily determine “what” people (with what thoughts and mood) live in the house. If the flowers grow symmetrically and look healthy, it means the residents have positive thoughts, and vice versa. Flowers cannot survive in negativity.
Vampire flowers that you should not have in your home:
Generally any climbing plants. - They give rise to quarrels and gossip, attract various diseases. They take away positive energy.
Even in offices - it is undesirable, or install a wire frame so that the stems lie on the frame in a circle.
But the vines are useful in front of the house, from the outside. There they serve as guards. On the contrary, they do not allow negativity into the house.
Ivy- This is a vampire plant. You can’t keep it in the house, it has masculine energy, and practically drives the men out of the house where it is located. So keep that in mind.
Monstera - a vampire plant, and a very powerful one at that. Please be careful not to place it in the bedroom or children's room. If there are small children and old people in the house, the monstera will feed on them first. It's better not to keep her in the house at all.
Dieffenbachia- Also a vampire plant. Takes energy. You can't install it in small rooms at all. Designed, like Monstera, for large spaces with very high traffic. There they will even be useful, they cleanse the space.
Ferns- “vampire” flowers, they are undesirable for the home, or you need to know where to place them.
Lilac- it is better not to plant it on personal plots and near residential buildings; it is not for nothing that it is planted in cemeteries - this plant attracts otherworldly forces.
Useful flowers for the home:

Red geranium -

“Reach towards the clear sun,
Take root firmly in the ground.
Grow in our sight and joy,
Protect from adversity and sadness.
I give my word,
I fasten it with an alatyr stone.
Amen"
And yet, I forgot the most important thing))) We are all very different, including in terms of energy, that’s why...
When choosing flowers for your home, focus, first of all, on yourself and your feelings. If you like a flower, you should take it no matter what...
P . S . On “critical days” it is not advisable to water flowers)
