Top 5 Pet Safe Plants
As Kiwis, we love using indoor plants to help style our homes and keep things looking fun and fresh. But for those of us with furry friends we need to take extra care to ensure the plants we bring into our homes are also safe for our pets. Here are our top 5, pet-friendly plants to keep your home looking fabulous!
Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid)
Orchids look fantastic and despite their delicate appearance, are an easy care and hardy plant. Water weekly in summer to encourage those beautiful blooms.
Calathea Insignis (Rattlesnake Plant)
This cute wee evergreen loves high humidity and shady spots. Pair them with other Calatheas for those jungle vibes. Keep the soil moist, as they can be a bit fussy if they dry out.
Boston Ferns
Thanks to their ability to purify the air around them these funky plants are great for keeping your home feeling fresh. They do their best work in high humidity areas so bathrooms and kitchens are great spots.
Calathea Orbifolia
With its dramatic foliage the Orbifolia is an excellent option for a statement plant. Place in bright, indirect sunlight with weekly waterings, and this beauty is good to go.
Fittonias
This compact and charming little gem comes in a variety of colours and leaf shapes. It loves medium light and high humidity, so frequent waterings are a must for these cuties.
