I am just loving my indoor plants.… _Posted by happysoxdonkey on 2025-07-18_ Looking for plant recommendations! I am just loving my indoor plants. I try to stick to pet friendly plants that aren’t too temperamental. I have several peperomia plants, calatheas, money trees, a Hoya, a crispy wave fern and an African violet. I have a few plants that aren’t pet friendly that I keep out of reach of my dogs - a snake plant, a pothos, and an aloe plant. Are there any other poet friendly plants I should try to add to my collection? Should I try a more advanced plant like a different type of fern? Anyone have any suggestions? ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/sSflF8KPRloMyMLT9fryLEFvtSLABtILREHSIta8QrE/8by4p2SjTqSoOxgvD51wRA.webp?size=large) ## 26 comments ### Amie206 commented on 2025-07-19 IMO if you think Calathea’s aren’t temperamental you are READY for just about anything. Alocasia? I’m not sure if they are pet friendly my Berner leaves all my plants alone #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-07-19 Thank you! My calatheas are thriving. Maybe because it’s summer and humid, but they’ve been great even with the air conditioning. I don’t know why! I will checkout alocasias. My puppy puts everything in his mouth! ### Sharon commented on 2025-07-19 You could go with an orchid if you’re looking for something small, or consider a monstera for a bigger option. ### Adrian commented on 2025-07-19 Lipstick plants and Goldfish plants (Aeschynanthus and Nematanthus, respectively). There’s quite a few varieties between them both, they flower, and they’re non-toxic for pets and people 😊 I’ve currently got a regular Goldfish Plant, and Goldfish Plant Shady Lady Mae, a Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant (super cool. They’re at Ott’s and Rhoads Garden atm), and picked up a Thai Pink Passion Lipstick Plant that I am extremely excited to see bloom someday.

There are so many different kinds and most are pet friendly and not that hard to keep ### Jezzy commented on 2025-07-19 how do you care for your Chinese money plant ?! It looks like it’s thriving and i’m trying to get mine to sprout nicely like yours 😭 #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-07-19 My money plant is the first plant that got me totally hooked on indoor plants. I have it in a very chunky cactus soil and next to an eastern facing window. That seems to be the secret so far, that my window is just good light for the types of plants I have. I also have pretty big trees outside the window that seem to block maybe just enough light for them to get really nice indirect light. I water about once a week when they seem very dry at the top. ### Kaitlyn commented on 2025-07-19 Ponytail palm! #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-07-20 They are so cute! ### Melody commented on 2025-07-19 A spider plant could a nice none toxic option. They are super easy to care for grow so fast. If you’re looking for a slightly toxic plant, philodendrons are great. I have a dragon tail philodendron but there are endless varieties and most are pretty easy to care for. #### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-07-20 Good ideas! I think spider plants are cute when they’re curly. #### Neptune’s Nest replied on 2025-07-20 Obviously need to optimize care here but mother plants are 🔥 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Rbf4C1X4ztGd3jrFdKFd6jloyp0sAq34AtSgmf8MwY0/eonsTVLOR2CC9gQke_g48A.webp?size=large) ### Neptune’s Nest commented on 2025-07-20 Peperomia are not difficult but are exquisite in my opinion especially with the textures and colors. excited for the other recs to add to my list! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
