The cylinder cleaner is probably harmless to humans and animals
Is the cylinder cleaner toxic?
With its red shining stamens the cylinder cleaner flashes clearly at its heyday. His leaves are also appealing, because they smell of citrus, if you rub them between your fingers. But is the cylinder cleaner completely harmless?
A harmless exotic
Most people know the cylinder cleaner - whether pulled as a tree or shrub - as an ornamental plant. Less is known whether this plant is poisonous. Unfortunately, there is hardly any information about their toxicity about this plant, which comes from Australia.
However, it is certain that it poses no danger to humans. It has neither appetizing fruits nor tasty seeds. It is also unlikely that you will be able to enjoy the leaves. It is rather a feast for the eyes.
Tips
Especially when wintering this plant, make sure that pets do not nibble on it. Otherwise they could be affected by intolerance symptoms.
