Common houseplants to avoid
If you have a curious pet around, chances are your beloved companion will be tempted to take a nibble out of your leafy lovelies. Unfortunately, a large number of popular houseplants do not mix well with pets—and in some cases could even lead to deadly consequences.
Some common indoor plants that are moderately toxic to cats and dogs include aloe vera, Chinese evergreen, ZZ plant, jade plant, and fiddle leaf figs, while highly poisonous ones that should be avoided at all costs include lilies, devil’s ivy, sago palm, elephant ear, and philodendron.
With that said, the list of plants to watch out for goes on; so we strongly recommend checking the toxicity of specific plant species before you make a purchase!
