Houseplants can bring about natural beauty to any Brewer rental home. However, if you do own pets, it’s essential to buy houseplants that are not poisonous. You may not know this, but a lot of the most common types of houseplants can be toxic for your pets.
And if you’re riding on the fact that your pet would never try to eat a plant, that’s not the only way a toxic houseplant can bring harm. Even rubbing against some plants can bring out skin irritation, digestion problems, even more to your furry friend. Here are the top pet-safe houseplants so that your pet would be safe while you can relish in the benefits cool houseplants have to offer for your rental home.
- Succulents. Succulents are both trendy and safe for pets. No wonder why they are one of the most sought-after houseplants. Succulents are easy to care for, and they also come in a vast range of colors and sizes.
- Majesty Palm. You can make a bold natural statement in any room of the house with these large potted palms. Lush and pet-safe, these palms require a little bit of maintenance, but what you get is worth the effort.
- Boston Fern. Recently, this classic houseplant has made somewhat of a comeback. And best of all, it isn’t toxic for pets. A Boston Fern looks fantastic in a hanging planter or on top of a cabinet or bookshelf.
- Money Tree. Despite its name, you can’t really grow money on a Money Tree. This houseplant is also known as the “good luck tree,” is desired among followers of feng shui for its smooth green leaves and one-of-a-kind braided trunk.
