Numerous
types of plants that we often keep in the home can be very dangerous for cats
or dogs because they cause stomach or skin problems, but they can also cause
dangerous poisoning. This is why we suggest plants that you can grow in your
home or yard without worrying about harming your pet if they are bitten.
1. Gloxinia
The
multicolored bell-shaped plant often adorns the windows of the home and brings
serenity to the space. It is considered a delicate plant, but with proper care
it will be a true home decoration and does not pose any danger if your pet also
likes it.
Gloxinia
suits a place with a lot of light, but protect it from direct sunlight as well
as drafts. If you notice that the flower loses its shape and elongates, the
plant does not have enough light, and if there is too much light the leaves
curl. Water the plant every three to four days with a water dispenser.
2. Green
lily or Chlorophytum
The popular
houseplant owes its attractiveness to the long green-yellow leaves that adorn
the stripes. This plant has many advantages that make it very common in interiors.
In addition to looking pretty, the green lily is thought to purify the air and
increase its humidity. Only one plant is enough to clear ten squares of a
dwelling.
It does not
require much care, so it can be grown by first-time adopters. They tolerate
different temperatures, but it is best to maintain a constant and moderate air
temperature and keep it in a place that is not directly sunny.
3. African
violet
African
violet or Saintpaulia is a very popular flower that is often grown in homes
because it blooms at any time of the year, and the flowering period can last up
to ten month.
Although
growing it is not so simple, with a little patience it will reward you with
beautiful flowers in purple pink or white tones. Violet looks for a warm and bright
place, as much fresh and humid air as possible, but make sure it is shielded
from direct sunlight and drafts.
4. Orchid
If you love
orchids, you can freely put them on your pet safe list and decorate the
interior with this extremely beautiful plant. Most orchids bloom once a year,
but if you provide them with good care, they may delight you with their
flowering and another time.
This
multicolored flower plant loves morning light, so it should be placed close to
the window in an east-facing room, but should not be exposed to direct
sunlight. The plant is watered by immersing it once a week with its pot in a
larger container full of water and allowing for 15 minutes to soak up the
required amount.
5. Bromelia
This unusual
plant has very small and unobtrusive flowers, but that is why the flowering
leaves, bracts, are extremely attractive and provide beauty to bromeliads. The
plant has a poorly developed root so it stores all the water it collects in its
thick leaves that are lined up in a funnel shape.
They are
grown in smaller pots and regularly watered so that the soil is always moist,
but also sprayed daily so that there is water in the leaf funnel. Bromeliads
should be placed in a warm and bright place, protected from direct sunlight.
6. Guardians
Both herbs
are often grown in yards and homes because of their many beneficial properties.
It is recognizable by its thick fleshy leaves full of water and star-shaped
flowers. It is watered very little, like a cactus, and if it is planted in the
yard it is not necessary to water it.
7. Bamboo
Bamboo is
easy to grow and grows quickly, making it a great choice for hedges. It is also
very useful in the interior because it purifies the air, and is also completely
safe for pets.
Warning: It
should be borne in mind that the ornamental plant Dracena senderiana, that is,
lucky bamboo, which often adorns flower arrangements, is not really bamboo-like
but merely resembles it and can cause problems if the pet eats it.
