Between toxic plants that are dangerous for our pets, and those they love and destroy at the first opportunity… Animal-plant cohabitation is not always easy… Find out in this article which indoor plants to choose when we has a cat or a dog.
Choosing indoor plants for your pet: Lhordeum
Which plant to choose with your pet (cat or dog)? Want to go green? We offer ourselves a small field of Hordeum! Indeed, this plant native to the Middle East, is simply barley. Decorative, it therefore evokes a micro-meadow or a high miniature lawn.
For a 100% oxygenating decorative effect, let it grow in a beautiful cup. Also, we do not hesitate to offer a jar to his darling cat. Indeed, this plant, better known as catnip, provides domestic felines with their dose of folic acid, while promoting the proper functioning of their digestive system.
Choosing indoor plants for your pet: Chlorophytum
Do you have a pet ? There is no fear in having this plant! It weaves no web and does not feed on any insects. A little water and light are enough to maintain it. Indeed, its color evoking the Vaudois flag in Switzerland also inspired its small name of Vaudois plant.
Introduced to Europe in the 19th century, over time this plant has made a place of choice in homes as an ornamental plant. Its generous foliage that tumbles is the best effect in a very trendy hanging pot.
Choosing indoor plants for your pet: Bamboo!
Yes, this magnificent plant can also enter the house! Originally from China, it likes both indoors and outdoors. We opt for the Bambusa Vulgaris variety, more suited to life behind the walls of an apartment.
Let yourself be inspired by the slender look of this plant and create plant screens, natural walls, separations of rooms full of poetry. A real source of inspiration.
Beaucarnea
The Beaucarnea, also known as Nolina or Elephant’s Foot. With its robust and plump trunk, the Beaucarnea is fearless. Especially not your pet who likes to scratch there. Indeed, in addition to this resistance, the Beaucarnea looks good.
It looks like a small tree crowned with a beautiful tuft of curved leaves. Originally from Texas, California and Mexico, Beaucarnea has always established itself as a solid, soothing, elegant and reassuring plant. However, if this plant is easy to live with and resistant… It only grows very very slowly.
The St. Paulia
Because of its attractive flowering, the Saint-Paulia is a small houseplant with fleshy, velvety round leaves. Well exposed to light, the Saint-Paulia is a plant that flowers several times in the season.
The flowers, purple, pink and white, look great and are safe for your pet. These are therefore ideal flowers to have at home when you have a cat or a dog!
aromatic plants
Lemon balm, mint, lavender, sage and thyme… You can actually use these plants in small pots that will be safe for your pet.
Especially since some of these plants are very useful to the cat… Thyme is a powerful antiseptic which in fact eliminates the intestinal parasites that this little feline can ingest. Lavender, for example, has scents that calm the cat. The mint, on the contrary, spreads an odor that encourages him to interact.
