PLNTS Top 6 favourite pet friendly plants

Many people are not only plant lovers but also proud pet parents! Plants and pets are not always the ideal combination in your home, unfortunately many plants are poisonous for your faithful four-legged friends. Some plants have irritating substances, which cause local inflammation in, for example, the mouth, stomach or skin. And this, of course, is something you want to avoid! Make sure you don’t buy these plants or make your cat or dog friends with them! This is also possible and sometimes animals don’t find plants interesting at all, yay! Of course, you know best!

Below you will find a top six of our favorite pet-friendly plants, and you can find even more plants on the website via the pet-friendly filter. And yes! There are quite a few of them, hooray!

1. Calatheas

These houseplants are not only beautiful to look at, but the entire Calathea family is also pet-friendly! A win-win situation! On our website you will find, for example, the Orbifolia, Medaillon or Zebrina, all three of which have really beautiful looking leaves that provide a nice contrast in your home.

2. Peperomia

In the wild, there are more than 1000 species in the Peperomia family. A number of these species are suitable for our climate. We have a varied range with a choice of many different colours and sizes. The funny thing is that they often don’t look alike, yet they come from the same family! Think of the Peperomia Pepperspot, Prostrata and the Peperomia Hope! All different to look at which makes it extra fun and also nice friends for your pet.

Your home can be filled with the cosiness of your pet as well as with beautiful plants!
