Modern people pursue a healthy lifestyle, and qualified families choose to use the balcony space to grow green vegetables by themselves. Just because the balcony conditions are limited, people mostly choose plastic flowerpots to plant, will the vegetables grown in this way be poisonous?
The reason why people raise such questions is because many plastic products can cause harm to the human body, which makes people have to have related questions about plastic flower pots. To answer this question, let's first take a look at what substances are absorbed in the growth of vegetables. Vegetable roots mainly absorb water and inorganic salts in production, and vegetable roots also absorb amino acids, sodium phytate, nucleotides and other substances, but cannot absorb macromolecules.
The main component of plastic flower pots is synthetic resin, which has stable chemical properties and cannot be explained. A small amount of organic matter decomposed cannot be absorbed by vegetable roots. When plastic is burned, dioxin is produced. Although it is carcinogenic to the human body, it cannot be absorbed by vegetable roots. Therefore, vegetables grown in plastic flower pots are not poisonous. However, we cannot use plastic flowerpots to grow vegetables without restrictions, because most of the flowerpots on the market are made of waste plastics, and there will still be harmful substances left. You'd better choose a flowerpot with no odor to grow vegetables.
