HELP! I’ve tried so many “cat repellent” remedies and he won’t stop eating my arrowhead plant. Any suggestions?

i spritz some of my plants with lemon juice water but the most effective is the sticky traps for bugs. stick a bunch in there and all around the plant. i like to tape some on chopsticks so i get varying heights

you’d never guess it but this used to be the most beautiful alocasia leaf… until my cat ate it. the cat is fine but i’m still hoping the plant comes back to life 😭😭

I’ve tried the fancy sprays, the diy solutions, providing cat grass, and more, and nothing even slightly deterred my cats from my plants. The only solution for me is keeping them out of reach (shelves, hanging, grow cabinet). Hopefully you can find something though!

I figured I’d have to move it, he’s too resilient lol. Thank you!

Please don’t think I’m mean, but I had to resort to bird spikes when my daughter moved back home with her 2 kitties. They kept chewing on my monsteras. Nothing worked \& I can’t put them up high…so to protect them \& my monsters I taped spikes all around my big guys. It’s ugly \& looks like a torture chamber but it worked!
