I’ve heard that I could put lemon juice into a spray bottle and dilute it- but I think that may damage some plants. I’ve used cat grass, and giving them a plant seemed to help but I’m hoping for a solid deterrent. Pls help ## 11개의 댓글 ### Sockembots님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hopefully someone will respond with a better solution than this—but I use my mom’s tried and true “spray the cat not the plant” method. Best if your cats really only bother your plants when you’re home. It’s just water, the water I use for my plants. I hit the lever once not even a full spray, and don’t point it directly at them, just near them. They get the picture pretty quickly and if they do go near the plants again just shake the bottle or reach for it and they’ll leave. I don’t love it, but it is effective… so if anyone’s got a plant focused alternative that’d be cool! #### Caitlin D님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. I’ll take any help I can get 😅 thank you! #### Sockembots님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. I’ve got new props out and I’m not kidding I had to spritz one of these furry monsters right after I hit post for trying to taste one 🙄 #### Caitlin D님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Oh nooo hahha. I woke up and my husband’s cat decided to eat a few leaves of my monstera 🥲 ### max님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. i’ve seen people putting plastic forks in the dirt all around the plant so the cat gets too freaked out to get close/can’t get a good foothold to eat the leaves, but i think that’s probably better for leaves that don’t hang over too much #### Caitlin D님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Yeah I saw that one too- but my cats will just get the leaves. I also tried coffee grounds around the base of the plant but they just went for the leaves ### Planty28님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. If the lemon juice doesn’t work they’ve got sprays specifically made to deter animals… a good one is skeddader, there’s one specifically for cats. Works amazing. #### Caitlin D님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Do you happen to have a link or a screenshot of the spray? I’m having trouble finding it ### tinybatfists님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. I spray my cat! She’s learned to leave my plants alone. I used a spray bottle from Walmart that shoots out a little jet stream of water. It doesn’t hurt her, but it’s quick and it deters her ### Sunny님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. They have sprays that keep pets from chewing furniture. It’s very bitter and repulsive to them. Test it before spraying all over the plants. ### Sparky🤍plants님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. I found that eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, and rosemary work (depending on whether your cat likes strong scents or not) maybe vinegar dabbed near the plant🤷‍♀️ --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
