Hi!  It’s Lucy from My Garden Nursery!

Are you an animal lover that wants to fill their home with plants?  Visit My Garden Nursery for some non-toxic, pet-friendly houseplant recommendations that will be perfect for your space!

We have people on staff who know non-toxic options that are safe for your pets, but it’s always a good idea to double check the ASPCA website for reassurance.

For low light areas, we recommend a variety of ferns like Boston, staghorn, bird’s nest, and more.  Or, try a cast iron plant with dark green, tall strappy leaves.

For medium light, try an assortment of palms like the neanthe belle or the lady palm.  For more color, you could do a collection of calatheas or maranta, which are both called prayer plants because of their dramatic leaf movement throughout the day.  These come in so many colors!  These areas are also great for African violets and orchids, so you can have a flower show in your home.

For higher light, there are so many options, like hoyas, which climb trellises and flower.  Or, lipstick or goldfish that trail and flower.  For a more compact highlight spot, try haworthia, which is a mounding succulent.

These are just a few options available for pet owners.  Our houseplant experts will help you find a plant, or many, to create an indoor jungle of your own for you and your pets.
