Looking for the perfect pet-friendly plant? If you were worried that your furry friends would limit your indoor plant options, think again! Whether you’re looking for air-purifying plants that are safe for pets, or low-light greenery that will work for both pets and your light conditions, rest assured that there are plenty of options for you to choose from.
Parlor Palm
Most indoor palms are safe for pets, and the Parlor Palm is no exception. This plant is not only non-toxic, but it also is one of the best air-purifiers out there!
Cast Iron Plant
The Cast Iron Plant is one of our favorite low-light pet-friendly plants. And it isn’t called “cast iron” for nothing— this plant is nearly indestructible and can withstand just about anything, even curious, nibbling pets!
Magenta Triostar
Looking for something with a bit of color? The Magenta Triostar has gorgeous green, white, and magenta colored leaves and is perfectly safe for pets.
Calathea Medallion
A cousin of the Magenta Triostar, the Calathea Medallion (as well as the Calathea Rattlesnake!) are also non-toxic and safe for pets to munch on.
Braided Money Tree
Considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity, the Braided Money Tree is a fantastic pet-friendly plant that comes in many different sizes, from desktop or shelf to a larger statement plant for the floor.
Bird’s Nest Fern
The Bird’s Nest Fern is a popular non-toxic indoor plant. As far as ferns go, this plant is easy to care for and relatively forgiving of occasional neglect. And if you’re looking for something smaller? In the same family is the Staghorn Fern, also safe for pets.
Is your favorite plant not on this list? Consider how likely your pet will snack on your greenery — most common houseplants are considered just mildly toxic for pets, and would require a fair amount of ingestion to cause a serious health risk. If it’s just a bit of nibbling, there’s most likely nothing to worry about. Shop our full collection of pet-friendly plants here.
