Why is tiger prickly plum poisonous at home?

Tiger thorn plum: also known as iron begonia, is a trailing shrub plant. The stem is much branched, the stem has hard and pointed conical spines, leaves alternate, concentrated on the twigs, flowering and fruiting throughout the year. The flowers of tiger thorn plum are bright red, rose red, yellow, white and so on. The plum blossoms in full bloom, like the stars in the sky, are small but numerous. When the flowers on all the branches bloom, a few red spots in the green leaves are even more beautiful and lovely. Tiger thorn plum can be divided into large flowers and small flowers. It is very popular because of its long flowering period, bright colors and easy cultivation.

Prunus przewalskii has certain requirements on the surrounding growth environment, the most suitable for ventilation, so generally planted in the courtyard, balcony more, such as indoor unventilated, bad ventilation, more muggy, will lead to yellow leaves. Prunus angustifolia is a horticultural hybrid of unicorn flower. The whole plant is poisonous and the white milk is highly toxic. Accidental eating will lead to vomiting and diarrhea. (not to mention that it is full of thorns, even without thorns, no one can watch it drool, growing flowers is not used to eat) and tiger prickly plum is poisonous and is not suitable for indoor breeding. It's best to put it on the balcony. It's really killing two birds with one stone. It is said that activating substances containing carcinogenic viruses and chemical carcinogens have been detected in the soil where such plants have been planted. There is currently no scientific basis for this statement, and if so, the country will ban the sale and cultivation of such plants.

Tiger thorn plum with dense leaves and sharp thorns, easy to grow, is also an excellent evil spirit plant. (in terms of fengshui, most of those with thorns can melt evil spirits, so there should be some prickly plants at home.)
