A lot of us have pets and this video is all about houseplants that are great for pet owners, especially if they’re plant lovers also, except in their own animalistic way. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my dogs could care less about the plants. I don’t even think they see them, to be honest. My cats have gotten a lot better with my plants. I think Ziggy finally gets it. Aside from the random Hoya tendril chew, they’ve both been very good! Happy growing and give your furry one a big hug for me!

There are so few houseplants that are non-toxic to pets. Was one of the first things I researched when starting my houseplant hobby
They’re almost all non toxic if they don’t eat them. only various lilies (both true lilies and non lilies whose common name has lily in it) have pollen that hurts them.
I disagree... All ferns, hoyas, prayer plants, orchids, peperomias, palms, bromeliads (including air plants), cordylines, rhipsalis, pileas among others are non-toxic... You have a lot of options just there.
How is it going so far? 😊 I have a cat and have many house plants, such as ponytail palm, spider plants, maidenhair fern, haworthia, etc.
While not a houseplant per se, true lilies are absolutely deadly to cats. Even exposure to lily pollen can cause kidney failure and death for our feline friends. Keep them out of your house and yard if you have cats!
Our literally gives our spider plants a buzz cut when she gets the opportunity to get near it :S
We hang it from the ceiling now because she can't keep her paws off of it lol
Yeah! Always a good day when Patrick posts a video 🪴love watching your video, I am a SAHM and my baby boy always calms down and stares at you!
I love that you had the adorable cat segue to starring your adorable babies
I died when you said the cactus was pet friendly then said but are they really lmao… too funny
Kellie is only interested in the catnip and the oregano. She likes to rub against my cacti and so far, we've only had minor scratches. I keep all plants away from my birds. I had one chew on a Selloum a few years back and he died. Nothing is within reach of any beaks.
What a great video Patrick.. all of this is good to know as I am a crazy cat lady LOL! I have 6 cats and thankfully they never mess with my indoor plants. I keep 2 pretty good size Terra cotta pots full of wheat grass on my patio.. my kitties enjoy grazing on that.
This is very important.
Cats and dogs need to eat grass periodically in order to pass hairballs and generally clean their intestines.
By providing them with their own source of digestive aid, you remove their need to nibble on other, less desirable and less effective plants.
Wheat grass is considered the best for cats.
I also keep the papyrus relative called Umbrella Grass available for my cats as it’s a fun toy for them to let iff steam. 😸✌️
This is EXACTLY the type of video I needed!
Nick Pilleggi has several more comprehensive videos on plant/pet safety.
Animal organizations also post lists of toxic plants on their websites. 😸✌️
My cat tries to eat every plant he sees so this video was super helpful! I have a spider plant that I've sacrificed as tribute to keep him from getting curious about my pothos and monstera. Hopefully I can find some of these plants so that I can bring a little more green into my home without having to worry about my snacking kitty :)
Oooo!! This is why I started collecting calathea, prayer plants. I have birds who like to eat any plant except for the veggies they're supposed to eat!
thank you for this video >
I just love your videos. Today I became aware that you have beautiful skin.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
That cat looked so cozy they were melting
😻💚
those side effects now have me thinking otherwise about getting an ivy, jade, and caladium. here i am propogating my bolton ivy no care in the world. lol. i seriously need to do a due diligence check for these plants im bringing home.
Thanks for making this video and sharing. I have a cat who was obviously an explorer in a previous life. Your video is an excellent guide for pet and plant parents!
Kitty!
So so cute
Cuddly precious kitty 🥰
I just discovered your channel today and was hoping you'd eventually make a video about pet safe plants. How did you know?! 😮
11:49 _”But are they really?”_ 😂
Your sound effects crack me up. so appropriate 😏😳
Thanks for this video. I ran into this issue when I took my sisters cat in. My cat is a plant destroyer but her cat eats them and she ate some zz raven, monstera deliciosa, and scindapsus exotica and her head swelled up. I had to get rid of a lot of the ones that are toxic to pets which are the easier ones to care for and majority low light plants. I researched plant friendly plants and a lot of the them are “traps” or require bright light. So my struggle is real lol. Thanks again for the video
I noticed that a lot of the cat friendly plants were traps! I hope your cat is better now! Ziggy has gotten a little better! He too was a plant destroyer but in different ways lol he liked maidenhair fern and also loved to use the fiddle leaf fig as a litter box to pee in 🤦🏻♂️😅 glad he outgrew that phase 💚
well thats news for me. i own the pothos and zz plants from that list and never knew they were toxic. here i am going nuts propagating some toxic plants without a care in the world. im so thankful you put that out there, although surely i probably shouldve done my background checks.
Thank you! 🌸
hey hey! Thank you for this! :)
Patrick, what a great video! Enjoyed learning about safe & toxic plants for pets, even though I don’t have any pets. Thank you, Amy
I have most of the toxic ones 😭😭😭 thank god my dog has never cared about my plants and has never ingested anything I keep all of them outside and he is always watched when around them
Yeah my dogs don't care at all about my plants! Sometimes I don't think they even see them, they'll just run right by them breaking leaves off 🙄 lol
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection house plants ❤❤
Thank you!! So glad you made the pet safe video! I have some of the toxic and never knew. Never realized so many were pet safe. Can not wait to go shopping!
you are ao cool! thank you for your video, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for watching! 🥰🙌
Hey Patrick I like your cat😸👍
Thank you so much!!
You’re a life saver thank you so much!!
Very helpful video, thank you
That was very helpful, thank you 💖
Thank you for making this video! It was so informative and helpful as a pet parent but also a budding plant mom.
Good info, thanks
Happy New Year 2023 !
I love your videos especially the ones on pet friendly plants!
Also I love your Name 😂
amazing I love your cat she is big chilling and loving it. also an incredibly helpful video with lots of beginner plants that I still love today!
Great info. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the good information your videos give great information
Oh wow you have such amazing looking plants!!! , and your kitty is sooo cute ☺️, love your hair as well. Great video, it’s helpful to know what to keep away from the fur babies ❤
Thank you!! 😊❤️
👍 A Nice Walk And I Learn A Lot! 😊
Hi Patrick
This is a great informative Video
I have a Chihuahua and six cats 🐈⬛
Love them all dearly
Stay well,beautiful
Animals are the best! 🥰🫶
Such an important topic Patrick!!! Thank you!!! Our cats and dogs are part of our families, and they are so vulnerable...gotta watch our for them. I so appreciate your input on this!!!
Kya, my cat bby also thanks you!!! She says good lookin out!!!
🍃🤗🍃
My cat grooms the African violet leaves on *her* plants and gets very worried if I touch them. It’s her indoor garden now.
That’s so cute 🥹❤️
Another pet safe plant that is fun to own is any episcia plant. Aka flame violet.
opuntias are so scary. my mother and i actually found one planted in the ground at this big public park called high park in the city, which was a surprise to us because we didnt expect any cactus in our snowy climate, but there it was and she said that was the one that her father would cut up and dispose of by scattering it on the ground in the Philippines and they would just come back even more from the chunks. Theyre like warrior plants.
That's so interesting! Opuntias have a strong will to live! 💪💚
Opuntia cactus grow well north into Canada. They don’t all have long spines.
Many Opuntia varieties have large, delicious fruits, which are very healthy to eat. 😸✌️
@@Unpotted oh yeah i thought that looked like the nopales cactus plant. Nature
Nopales are good for you and delicious! Try them grilled! Don’t forget to remove the thorns first and then cut them from the middle to make them thinner and easier to cook 👩🏻🍳
Thank you for this! I have a flower and plant loving cat and I’m so afraid to have plants in the house bed I know she will stop at nothing to get them. At least I could put some on my list that are safe just in case.
Glad it was helpful!
Fun fact.. spider plants contain the same hallucinogenic compound as cat nip.. Henry the cat has literally decimated a couple of mine to get high😂😂😂 I can’t seem to find a place to hang it that he can’t figure out a way to get it. 🫠😻😹
Not me chewing on my spider plant 😂
That’s so cute 🥰
@@Patadendron 🤣
My cats have catnip in the garden they roll around in, but eat the leaves of the slider plants!
Pet friendly? More like Fenway friendly!!!!
❤thank you for the information very helpful 🏡😻😻🌞🐱
What about the dark purple Moses in the cradle and the green and purple wondering Jew, vines?
I would err on the side of toxic with those, though it’s a milder toxicity than the bad ones mentioned.
The only plant my cat likes is callisia, which is poisenist ...
Oh no! Keep them away from each other lol
Just started watching your videos. I like them alot. I am currently only able to keep succulents and cats alive,but I hope to branch out to others. I wanted to clarify when you say "trap" you mean it's not a beginner friendly plant, correct?
Yes! Exactly what I mean. I made a video about the traps to watch out for when buying plants as a beginner, and that's where I got that from! Thanks for watching! Lol at the cats 💚💚💚
@@Patadendron lol I ment to put cactus LOL, but I can keep my cats alive too. Thats why I was watching this video. I saw that other video, so I had figured that's what you ment. Thanks for the good ideas! Your videos have everything I need to know.
@@dianaw9717 For more complete information on pets and plants, please watch Nick Pileggi.
He has several videos about plant/pet safety. 😸✌️
Oh no! Not a pet-safe trap!! 😂
😂😂🙌🏽
Well cats are usualy smart.
My cat who past away of a kidney illnessbsome years ago would not just chew at a randome plants i only would have to watch out for anything with grass swaped leaves . As a younfmg cat she triet to bite intonthe ficus once we gsve her a mouth wash and she nevdr bit in there again. But thisnisnt higly toxic it just lefts a stinge on the tounge well probaply depending on the kind of ficus
I love ur cat btw
Can you do a video of low light, pet safe.. pet friendly video
Great episode Patrick I enjoyed watching😌🤲💖
Omg that sweet little face! ❤️ 🐱
My neighbor just lost a cat due to Easter lilies he bought for his girlfriend. Same with grapes and dogs, they'll kill a dog.
That’s so sad!
@@Patadendron I'm not a cat person but even I miss that old fat thing running up and wallowing at my feet wanting petted.
She was a sweet cat.
:(
Good Video.
Thank you!
You're Welcome. 😊
Did you know that even though the spider plant is safe for pets it acts as a hallucinogenic ‽
I heard that!! 🤯
Aloe always in my kitchen. And I had so my cats. Ugh
Great video.
Very informative and refreshing.
Charismatic host🇹🇹💙🇹🇹
Other palms
❤
Did you get a haircut? Looks great!
Thank you!
Would you consider doing some kind of collaboration with Nick Alexander?
I would be beyond honored to do a collab with Nick Alexander! 💚
Aww
Awesome keep it up.
I like plants i am trying to buy a cat. I would like to know if string of pearls , hens and chicken , persian shield , lavender plants r safe for cats ?
String of pearls is best away from cats reach and they make for lovely hanging plants. Persian shield is not entirely safe, it is not seriously poisonous either, same with lavender - it isn’t deadly but it isn’t cat safe either. However, they do tend to stay away from lavender because they may dislike its smell. My cats tend to know which plants they can play with and they aren’t interested at all in eating the foliage anyway anymore. The only time my cats were wanting to chew on leaves was when they were curious kittens and even then they just loved the maidenhair fern 😂 (completely non toxic)
Hope this helps! Congratulations on deciding to get a cat ❤️
Plants that I am seeing a lot of are philodendrons (Monstera) and sansevierias (Snake). From what I understand, those are toxic-to-pets plants, correct?
Correct. Philodendrons have crystal oxalates and sansevieria is a gastrointestinal irritant! Their toxicity isn’t as bad as the others mentioned in this video as toxicity is a grey scale, but would still definitely keep away from pets that like to chew plants! 💚
@@Patadendron You were definitely remiss not to mention the gray scale in the video.
You also failed to mention the entire Euphorbia family, although an animal would have to eat much more than was palatable to suffer much harm from most of them.
Still the sap is highly alkaline and will irritate eyes and mucus membranes.
Many viewers watch TH-cam videos as though everything is absolute fact.
As a content creator, it is incumbent upon you to ensure that you are not misleading them with incomplete information.
Also, enough of the claptrap about plant “traps.”
You live in a very small, arid part of the world.
Maidenhair ferns (and the long list of other plants you’re warning people to avoid) did not spend millions of years evolving to survive in that climate.
They grow perfectly well in many other parts of the country where the rest of us live.
But you know this or you wouldn’t be holding so many of your plants captive in a grow tent.
Have you not heard of self-watering pots???
As water shortages continue to threaten the Southwest, it would be much more environmentally responsible to stick with cactus and succulent plants, and leave the rainforest plants in the tropics where they belong.
Surely they would prefer that to a closet, and you would have water for bathing and drinking.
😸✌️
@@Unpotted Patrick didn't go over the Euphorbia species because this isn't an extensive list for toxic plants. There are many more plants that are toxic, but this list is for the more popular houseplants.
Also maidenhair ferns, since you brought them up, are actually from all over the world. There's over 200 species and some of the have evolved to live in more cooler, less humid places. Plus, plants aren't kept hostage if they're living in a grow tent. If they're growing wonderfully, then they obviously like being where they are.
@@cowabunga8922 Plants growing well in grow tents just have Stockholm Syndrome. 😉
Maidenhair is a common name used for many different species of ferns that look similar to each other. None of them actually look like the hair of an unmarried young woman. 😸✌️
@@Unpotted What do you say about plants in a conservatory then? Also if a plant can survive growing in the middle of a concrete parking lot, then I'm sure they don't mind somewhere that imitates their natural living environment.
I do know what ferns look like, I have plenty. Was just educating you since you seem to not be.
Are pokadot begonias safe ?
They are only mildly toxic to dogs
Are Alocasia Bambino safe for cats please
They aren’t unfortunately so keep them away if your cat likes to eat plants
What is the name of the whorly plant at 08:13?
That is a hoya carnosa in that picture!
@@Patadendron THANKS SO MUCH!!
Is lemongrass safe for cats
It is in moderation! If they nibble on the plant they’ll be fine but the essential oil is NOT safe for cats.
@@Patadendron Thanks so much!
Tell me the plants that go with title on video and that's not pet safe plants
Lol. So I pretty much have a house full of death..! Go figure.
LOL!
@@Patadendron EEEEP..! Fan girl moment..! 🥰
Ahem. Sorry bout that. But yeah, have anywhere from 1 to 6 dogs at my house depending on the day. Since I'm the only family member that works from home. People often drop their pets off with me 🤣 But none of them ever have interest in the plants thankfully..!
Tks for showing plants not pet safe
You didn't mention philodenderons. Very toxic to pets
