Plants to Avoid

While we're focusing on safe options, it's essential to know which common houseplants are toxic to pets. Avoid: pothos, philodendron, snake plants, ZZ plants, peace lilies, and any type of lily (especially dangerous for cats).

Tips for Pet-Proofing Your Plant Collection

• Place plants on high shelves or hanging planters out of reach
• Use deterrent sprays on plant leaves if pets show too much interest
• Provide cat grass as an alternative for cats who like to nibble
• Always research a plant's toxicity before bringing it home

With these pet-friendly options, you can create a beautiful indoor garden that's safe for the whole family!
