If you have a pet lounging around your home, you don't want them to get sick due to the simple pleasure of owning a houseplant. That said, you may be torn since the stress-reducing, air-cleansing, and overall positive qualities that houseplants bring to the table — aside from their aesthetic — make for an appealing argument to get them.
If you've been avoiding plants for that reason, then we have a solution: nontoxic plants. They're on trend, healthfully beneficial, and, of course, pet friendly. Read on to see our favorite feel-good, look-good picks, and turn your home into a lush green forest in no time.
Bless your home in good fortune with the prosperous Money Tree Plant ($30). The tree features bright foliage that's not harmful to pets.
The Areca Butterfly Palm ($29) is a win-win, as it eliminates bad toxins in the air while remaining toxic-free for your pets. Plus, its large leaves add a fun tropical vibe.
Place the Bird's Nest Fern ($24 for two) on a bathroom shelf or near a window, as these leafy green plants love high spaces, humidity, and lots of sunlight. This order comes with two plants, so you can place them in multiple rooms of your home.
The soil-free Air Plant ($30 for six) is extremely easy to maintain and comes in a variety of shapes and colors to match your aesthetic. The plants prefer bright indirect sunlight and weekly water baths.
The Peperomia Plant ($44) loves humidity but can handle low light and drier conditions. This plant doesn't need much to thrive and may even reward you with white flower spikes.
Grow the Basil Herb Plant ($20) in your kitchen, and garnish meals (like pasta) with it. Basil is edible for both humans and pets, so feed it to your furry friend if you wish.
The long, narrow leaves give the Spider Plant ($22) its unique name. This oxygen-producing, air-purifying plant loves indirect sunlight and weekly waterings.
If you have a bare corner that doesn't get a lot of sunlight, try out the Cast Iron Plant ($90). This plant loves low-light conditions, making it perfect for bathrooms or any area that's shady.
If you have a cramped space with low light, the Parlor Palm Plant ($69) will thrive there while purifying the air. The palm's bushy leaves are perfect for desks, tabletops, and shelves.
The shiny-leafed Rubber Plant ($169) grows fairly large and fast, eventually turning into a tree. It's low maintenance, and its glossy leaves will make a statement.
The luscious Boston Fern ($32+) enjoys high humidity and indirect sunlight, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Place this plant on a hanger, and watch it thrive.
