Recommendations for your favorite pet safe plants? Here are a few of mine!

I’m a little discouraged on my plant journey because a lot of the ones I wish I could have aren’t pet safe. Please give me some fun ideas!

Hoyas, spider plants, and peperomia!

Several of the “not pet safe” plants are extremely unlikely to cause significant harm. Many may cause a “taste reaction” after chewing, and others lead to puking after eating the plant but that’s the extent of it. So if there’s a plant you have your heart set on it may be worth investigating what kind of toxicity it tends to have for pets.

I really appreciate this. I do have a cat who is a leaf chewer but she’s definitely one to be deterred if something seems off.

• The holiday cactuses (I believe all three are pet safe)  
• Hoyas  
• Air plants  
• African Violets \& Primulinas (double check me on these but I’m 90% certain they are pet safe)
