15 houseplants for improving indoor air quality
BEAUTIFUL
It would be helpful to know if any are toxic to pets.
google it, yes most are toxic it seems logical if they obsorb toxins from the air that it would be stored in the plant.
best to keep them out of reach of pets even if they arent, hanging baskets or on a shelf that they cant jump to.
maybe plant pet friendly things like cat grass and catnip ( if you have cats). not sure how it would be on the plant but if you have a chewer you can get bitter apple which might curb the need to chew it. if digging is a problem theres a deterant spray for that.... More
Get bitter spray and use it on your toxic house plants. It will need to be reapplied every few weeks, but your pets will learn that chewing on them is no fun. They chew before they swallow so a bitter taste will deter them from swallowing.
I tried applying Vicks Vapo-Rub around a big pot that I couldn't place up high. I was surprized to see it was no deterrent. The plant's attraction was just too great I guess. I also tried those sprays that are found in pet shops, and had no luck with that either lol...
This is really useful information and I think, that I will give some of thew plants a test drive in my office :)
