11.02.2024 20:59
Houseplants purify the air and complement the interior. But if cats or dogs live in the house, it is important to ensure that the plants are not toxic.
However, pets may taste them, which can ultimately lead to serious health problems.
Spathiphyllum
This flower fits perfectly into any room, but it should be taken into account that if the animal decides to try the leaves, it can cause irritation of the oral mucosa.
Zamioculcas
As experts note, toxins in the plant can cause abdominal pain and vomiting.
Therefore, it is better to refrain from buying such a flower if you have a curious cat or a restless dog at home.
Tulips
These beautiful spring flowers will decorate any interior. But the vase with them should be placed so that pets definitely cannot reach them.
If you want to grow such a plant in a pot or save the bulbs at home for planting, you need to understand that this part is considered the most toxic. If an animal tries it, vomiting is possible, as well as other severe and unpleasant consequences.
Earlier we talked about why cats eat plants.
