Daily care and tips for Pet-friendly houseplants

How do you care for a pet-friendly plant day to day?

Watering once the substrate has dried out thoroughly, about every 7 to 10 days, suits most of these species. Indirect light and a stable temperature between 18 and 24°C promote steady growth. Choose our fast-draining mineral mix enriched with essential nutrients to prevent excess water from accumulating around the roots.

How can I stop my pet from nibbling on my plants?

Choose a high spot or a room your pet visits less often, especially during the first few weeks of adjustment. A spray bottle of water nearby can also help distract them when they try to nibble. Kittens and puppies are generally the most curious about the foliage.

Where can I buy high-quality pet-friendly plants?

Plant and Stories offers a selection of non-toxic plants grown by French and European growers, chosen for their safety and quality. Each plant is checked before shipping and delivered quickly in secure packaging. Fast, secure delivery ensures that your plant arrives in perfect condition.

Everything you need to know about Pet-friendly houseplants

What is a pet-friendly plant?

A pet-friendly plant is a species that is not toxic if accidentally ingested by a cat or dog, according to ASPCA data. This applies to the leaves, sap, and roots alike. Calatheas, Pilea peperomioides, and Areca palms are among the species recognized as safe.

Which pet-friendly plants are suitable for low-light apartments?

The Chlorophytum and Maranta tolerate moderate indirect light well, making them suitable for north- or east-facing rooms. A distance of 1.5 to 2 metres from a window is generally sufficient for these species. They maintain dense foliage even without direct sunlight.

Where should you put your plants if you have a cat or a dog?

Placing your plants on tall furniture, shelves, or in hanging planters helps limit curious pets' 'access. Even with non-toxic species, this precaution protects the foliage and prevents everyday messes. Hanging plants and wall shelves are therefore the best allies for households with pets.
