The Safest Plants to Keep Around Your Pets

Can your pets and plants coexist peacefully in your home?

While certain houseplants can be toxic to our furry friends if they take a nibble, some of the most beautiful (and easy to care for) indoor plants are safe to keep around cats, dogs, and other animals. Here are my favorites!

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis Exaltata)

A lush, happy Boston fern truly is a sight to see. Just brace yourself for the debris, as it’s not unusual for them to drop a lot of leaves!

Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum Sp.)

I would really recommend keeping your maidenhair fern in a terrarium-type set-up. It’s much easier than trying to keep these fussy plants alive on a windowsill.

Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium Nidus)

I’ve found this to be one of the easier ferns to keep alive. And it looks like it came straight from the dinosaur era!

This is my favorite underrated fern and I’m glad to see it getting more attention in recent years. Much more forgiving than something like a maidenhair fern, so start here if you’re a beginner.

Blue Star Fern (Phlebodium Aureum ‘Blue Star’)

If you’re looking for something unusual, this is it! A well-mounted staghorn fern in a warm and humid environment like a bathroom can grow huge.
