The British Daniel Jones bought the seeds of one of the most dangerous plants in the world, the Dendrocnid moroides, she is originally from eastern Australia and Malaysia. The main care with her is to avoid touching. That way, he keeps them in a protective cage so that other people don't come into contact without thick gloves on their hands. The leaves have small hairs that, when touched, can cause severe pain.
Curiosity: It is also known as the suicide plant because its sting is so agonizing that it is said to have caused a man to kill himself after being stung.

What are the objectives and risks of having one of the most dangerous plants in the world at home?
When we think about the reasons, the first justification for growing this plant at home is scientific studies, however, Jones says that this is not his goal. According to the botanist, the cultivation of the plant serves to have more emotion in gardening activities. In an interview, he told the Metro UK newspaper that, although he likes plants, at times he feels bored.
Jones said he bought the seed from an Australian company and it wasn't cheap: the cost, on average, was $60.00 Australian. The risk of buying the seeds is that they can spread throughout the garden. Contact with the plant does not lead to death, however, it can cause pain, hives and discomfort. Researcher Marina Hurley explains that at the slightest touch, symptoms can appear within 20 to 30 minutes.
Something that causes a lot of astonishment is that the hairs of the plant remain in our organism for up to six months and can cause pain if the place comes into contact with water at hot or cold temperature.
So, would you have the courage to grow this plant?
