I have noticed the bulb plants like spider lily, amaryllis, tube roses rajnigandha, sada phuli-periwincle vinca roses, attract white mites. these are tiny insects that crawl all over the plants and even jump to neighboring container plants and never leave!

When you have small children be really careful while choosing plants especially for indoor plants as they attract pests easily with water stagnation and also for outside gardens if there is not sufficient sunlight coming in your space.

These tiny creatures attach themselves to leaves and feed on the plant, you will find the bulbs from inside become soggy and die if these pests are not treated on time.
Hibiscus too has tendency to attract mites, aphids and its really stubborn, many gardeners suggest soapy solution spray to clean this. I have tried many things but as you add pest control medicine the plant also dies off. Manually removing, trimming is the only solution and once you trim the infected parts and remove all creatures spray it with water using pressure to blow off all insects and then give some direct sunlight, if you are lucky enough you will save these plants as they start fresh growth.
Avoid all sort of bulb plants indoors, unless you are growing them outside garden with full sunlight.
Tube roses Rajnigandha too is infected at times.
Hibiscus as I mentioned is too prone to pest attacks'.
Jade also gets infected with white aphids

Thank you for shedding light on the topic of dangerous plants for homes with children. It's crucial to be aware of the potential risks associated with certain indoor plants, and your blog post serves as a valuable resource for concerned parents.
ReplyDeleteThe mention of transplanting bulb plants, specifically lilies, caught my attention. While lilies are undeniably beautiful, it's important to note that they can be highly toxic to children if ingested. As a parent myself, I greatly appreciate your emphasis on the need to exercise caution and avoid growing these plants in homes where young children are present.
By raising awareness about the potential dangers of certain plants, you are helping to protect children and create a safer environment for families. It's essential for parents to educate themselves about the plants they bring into their homes, ensuring they are child-friendly and pose no harm.
In future articles, I would love to see more suggestions on child-safe alternatives to these dangerous plants. Perhaps you could provide a list of best indoor plants that are non-toxic and still offer the beauty and benefits of greenery. This would be incredibly helpful for parents who wish to create a safe and nurturing space while still enjoying the benefits of indoor plants.
Thank you for addressing this important topic and providing valuable information. Your efforts in promoting awareness and safety are highly commendable. Keep up the great work!
