Safety for Everything: Pets and Plants

As a pet lover, it is essential to consider the safety of your furry companions when choosing houseplants. Some plants can be poisonous to cats and dogs. At Plant Nerd we strive to provide a safe environment for both you and your pets. Some pet-friendly options include:

• Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens)
• Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
• Zinnia (Zinnia elegans)

However, there are also plants that are poisonous to pets, such as Lilies, Philodendrons and Dieffenbachia. It is therefore important to keep these plants out of the reach of your pets.

Tips for a Safe Plant Environment

To ensure that your pets can safely enjoy your houseplants, here are some useful tips:

• Place plants on a plant stand or in higher places where pets cannot easily reach them.
• Learn to recognize the symptoms of plant poisoning in pets and be alert to possible dangers.
• If you have any doubts about the safety of a particular plant for your pets, consult your veterinarian.
