As you know, some plants can pose a threat to dogs and cats due to their toxicity.
For this reason, it is so important to choose your indoor plants wisely. To make this task easier for you, we have compiled a top 5 of the best options.
African violet
This plant with bright purple flowers and a size of about 30 cm is ideal for adding new colors to your home interior. Another advantage is that the flower is undemanding in care - it is enough to water the violet irregularly, immersing the pot in water for 5 minutes.
Howea indoor
The flower is also known as the "straw palm." It boasts thin, glossy leaves and is completely safe for animals. Howea can survive in cold climates, but still prefers gardens and outdoor patios with cold climates.
Rose
Roses are usually grown for their decorative value, but these flowers can also be used medicinally – to relieve sore throats and headaches. Cats may be inclined to eat roses because of their specific aroma and taste, but this does not pose a danger to them or dogs.
Orchid
Phalaenopsis orchids are the best choice for those who want to add style and color to their everyday life. They are safe for cats and dogs, and with proper care, they can delight with blooms for several months in a row.
Calathea
You can recognize calathea by its shiny, elongated leaves. The plant can reach 60 cm in height. The flower needs warmth and humidity, so leave the calathea pot in rooms with a temperature of 16 to 30 degrees or in not too sunny places. And, of course, do not be afraid to leave the plant alone with a cat or dog.
