Which houseplants are poisonous and which are not?
How can I kill these dang plants faster?!
I’ll tell you everything you need to know about popular house plants to care for both your fabulous felines AND your precious plants!
It’s important to remember that any plant may cause vomiting and gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs, and those with large leaves can be a choking hazard. If you believe that your pet is ill or may have ingested a poisonous substance contact either your local veterinarian or the APCC 24-hour emergency poison hotline at 1-888-426-4435
Nasturtium
The Nasturtium is native to Central and South America and has both edible leaves and flowers. They have a slight peppery flavor and taste great on salad! Though typically classified as an annual, the Nasturtium is able to live through the winter if kept indoors or in a warm climate
Parlour Palm
Native to rain forests in Southern Mexico and Guatemala, Parlour Palms can help clean your air and are a nice, grassy snack! Ralphie made me add that last part, but don't listen to him plz 😼
Zebra Plant 🦓
Zebra plants are a jungle plant native to southern Brazil and are named for their dark green, glossy leaves with white veins. Some folks consider Zebra Plants to be finicky and hard to care for, but if you pay attention to their foliage, they are great at communicating their needs. If you take extra care, you can coax a bloom out of them 1-2 times per year, and Ralphie says they look delicious! 😼
