My cat is the pest in this case 😩 She keeps jumping in my fiddle leaf fig tree pot to play in and lay in the dirt. I raised it nearly a foot off the ground, but she can still jump in. She knocked the whole thing down last night. The only thing I could think of that won’t hurt her is pet safe insect sticky traps. I lined the pot with them as a barrier to keep her out. Any tips on keeping cats out of your plants? I’d hate to have to put it outside, but I may have to.
Ever try just laying a bunch of differently sized rocks on the top of the dirt? The more variance the better, and they're kinda decorative at the same time.
2 likes I’ve tried that with other plants when she was younger and she would dig the rocks out. She’s been so good leaving them alone these last few years, but I guess this giant pot of dirt was too tempting. I’ll see about getting some rocks though. Maybe that combined with the sticky traps will do the trick

I ended up putting cinderblocks in the pot of my Benjamin ficus. That kept my cat out.
1 like I can see how that would certainly work. I may have to resort to heavier barricades 😂

Lay aluminum foil on the ground surrounding the plant, they’ll never go near it again!
