What is Lily's blood?

Native of Africa, blood lilies or African blood lily, is a permanent plant that can be grown from seeds or bulbs. This Lily has a short flowering period that lasts about two weeks. The bulb of this plant is toxic to both humans and animals. These lilies prefer well -drained, permanently moist soil, although it is possible to over water through water. Plants also grow well in containers. Blood lilies should be covered with a mulch during the winter months in colder temperatures zones. These lilies should be removed from the ground and stored during the winter months if the weather is serious. Blood lilies can be separated and planted after the flower of the lily. These lilies flood in a year in half to the end of summer. The flowers consist of almost 200 small red to orange flowers that are sphered. The flowers eventually become a bright red berry. It is good for the plant itself because its toxicity prevents animals such as deer or rodents in lily food, although lily will still be pickedOut snars and slugs. Unfortunately, children and pets may not know this information.

Blood lilies contain chemicals such as lycorine that are poisonous. Although lily blood is considered to be "relatively low" toxicity, the consumption of bulbs can cause discomfort, including nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. Depending on the amount of the plant, the person or the animal was eaten, the smaller the person or the animal, the more serious the symptoms of the blood consumption of lily bulbs are likely to be.

When a cat or a dog eats a part of the blood lily, the animal should be transported as soon as possible to the veterinarian. If poisoning occurs "off", the pet can be transported to the emergency hospital for pets. The owner can also call the hot line Poison Center for pets.
