Plants are a great way to create a cozy<\/a> atmosphere within your home, but before you get your heart set on a certain botanical to adorn your abode<\/a>, you must also take into consideration the others that will be sharing that space with you. And by others, I mean pets<\/a>. Unfortunately, not all plants are safe for pets–and they can cause your furry pal a great deal of trouble. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together this list of pet-friendly plants to guide you to a safe and happy plant household<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"good\n

1. Ferns<\/h3>\n

First, there is something you should know about Ferns: Just because they say \u201cfern\u201d in the name, doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that it is in fact a species of the fern family. That\u2019s why you need to make sure that it is a \u201ctrue fern\u201d before allowing interaction with pets. The good news is there are several non-toxic options such as the Boston Fern<\/a>, Bird\u2019s Nest Fern<\/a>, Maidenhair Fern<\/a>, Sprengeri Fern<\/a>, and Staghorn Fern<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Air Plants<\/h3>\n

Air plants<\/a> are friendly to pets but may look like a fun toy, so keep them up high–and away from climbable reach.<\/p>\n\"white\n

3. Haworthia Zebra<\/h3>\n

Haworthia Zebras<\/a> are a type of succulent that’s easy to care for and<\/em> easy on your pets. They’re named after the zebra<\/a> due to their striped greenery.<\/p>\n

4. Spider Plant<\/h3>\n

Much like a fern, Spider Plants<\/a> are leggy and pet-friendly. They look fabulous hanging in baskets, placed in pots, or in planter bowls.<\/p>\n\"pet\n

5. Palms<\/h3>\n

There are several types of Palms<\/a> that are a great way to bring some height into your interior space without the worry of harming your pets. Parlor Palms<\/a>, Majesty Palms<\/a>,\u00a0 and Bamboo Palms<\/a> are perfect, to name a few.<\/p>\n

6. Orchid<\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for some flowering plants to bring a pop of color<\/a> into your space, Orchids<\/a> are pet-friendly and a beauty to watch bloom!<\/p>\n

7. African Violet<\/h3>\n

African Violets<\/a> are one of the most common indoor plant options<\/a> that are free from toxins and a reliably safe option.<\/p>\n\"black\n

8. Pilea<\/h3>\n

Pilea Plants<\/a> are both interesting and non-toxic to animals. Their coin-shaped leaves add a playful mood to any space.<\/p>\n

9. Aluminum Plant<\/h3>\n

Part of the Pilea family, Aluminum Plants<\/a> offer variegated leaves that are non-poisonous and decorative.<\/p>\n

10. Cast Iron Plant<\/h3>\n

Not only are Cast Iron Plants<\/a> low-maintenance, but they are also a harmless leafy option for indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

While these plants are all non-toxic, there are some side notes to keep in mind when introducing them to your pets. Do not allow your pets to ingest these plants as they may upset their tummies and\/or cause vomiting–so do your pet a favor and avoid having a mess to clean up yourself! If you have a small puppy going through a chewing stage, be sure to puppy-proof their space and keep plants out of reach or gnaw.\u00a0 The same goes for playful kitten paws i.e., don\u2019t allow them to whack your new plant babies off the counter!<\/p>\n
