Non-Toxic Plants for Indoor Pets
Comments (1)Nice list, thanks! I have a dog, so the indoor plants I have are nontoxic: an african violet, a nontoxic fern, culinary herbs in hubby's Aerogarden, and a goldfish plant (which I love!! It is so cool looking.) Used to have a Persian violet which was fabulous and fragrant-- smelled great for about 2 months, but it eventually finished flowering, sickened and died. It was replaced by the goldfish plant....See Morenon-toxic desert plants
Comments (5)I'm so glad you posted regarding non-toxic plants ! I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it ! Last year, my new chow pup became violently ill...wouldn't eat or drink water, tail drooped, sad, pain-filled eyes...We couldn't figure out what was wrong, until I found pieces of aloe vera scattered around the yard, with chew marks ! this was surprising as I know aloe vera to be considered a medicinal plant ! I've used it many times (on myself) for burns etc. Rudy is now two years old, but still has an appetite for plants ! I have a nine page list of toxic plants that I refer to every time I head for a garden center ! I also printed out the non-toxic list for a "double-check"...My lists are from the "pawprinte and purrs" website; but there's also an excellent list on ASPCA website, but I couldn't get it to print ! In case you're wondering what cured him, I'm not sure, but I gave him several doses of liquid Golden Seal (from health food store); maybe he just got better on his own...bottom line is it was a lesson learned by me, if not HIM! I just wish that the plant info tags state "toxic" or "pet safe"... I also would like to suggest that posters to our site follow suit and indicate the same when they recommend plants to us...On the other hand, I guess it's our own responsibility to check it out ourselves... But I DO wish the professional plant growers would provide the info, right along with sun/shade, water, annual/perennial etc. Thanks for bringing up this important topic !...See MoreVine Non-Toxic 2 Cats

Comments (6)Elucas101, yep! It was unexpectedly crowded on Saturday--barely any breathing room. I just started collecting succulents, so I haven't been to East Austin Succulents; though I would like to visit. The New Mexico vendor was SO FUNNY. I asked him how to water my African cacti and he said, "1 tsp per week, but apologize to them first" :) Of course, I dutifully put my cacti out in the sun and within a couple hours they got rained on. Hopefully just a teaspoon made it in. Since this was my 1st show, I can't really compare, but I had hoped to find some more flowery-type succulents. Like more echeveria varieties. But I am very happy with the cute little cacti I found and I will definitely visit subsequent shows--I will just try to get there before the crowds next time. UPDATE ON MY CAT: 4 hours after consumption, he vomited a little, but there was no plant evidence. The sap from the graptopetalum must have upset his stomach. He is fine now, thankfully :) Thanks for everyone's help!...See Moretracy Byers
