NEW PLANTS??

2024/7/21 Edited to

... Read moreChoosing the right plants when you have pets, especially cats, can be a daunting task. Many common houseplants can be toxic to cats, leading to various health issues. To help you ensure your home remains safe, here are some cat-friendly plants that you might consider: 1. **Spider Plant**: These are hardy plants that are safe for cats and even help purify the air. They can thrive in various light conditions and require minimal care. 2. **Bamboo Palm**: This plant not only looks beautiful but is also non-toxic to cats. It prefers indirect sunlight and can add a tropical touch to your home. 3. **Boston Fern**: Known for its lush foliage, the Boston Fern is safe for your furry friends and can contribute to better indoor humidity levels. 4. **Areca Palm**: This elegant palm is non-toxic and can grow tall, making it a fantastic addition to any room. 5. **Friendship Plant (Pilea involucrata)**: A wonderful choice for pet owners, this plant thrives in moist soil and indirect light. Additionally, it's important to do research on the plants you're considering, as some may have specific care needs. Resources like the ASPCA's list of toxic and non-toxic plants can be invaluable in making your choices. By educating yourself and seeking recommendations from fellow plant lovers, you can create a green space in your home that is safe for both you and your beloved pet.

Plants mistakes I made 🥀
In the beginning of my journey I was just so eager to collect them all— I forgot why I was collecting them in the first place. To admire their beauty and care for them. I lost sight of this— having so many that i couldn’t keep up with the care. I lost interest, so naturally I lost a lot of plants.
