Would you like to add some color to your home? Then You will be interested to know which are the non-toxic plants for cats, truth? So that problems do not arise or you have to run to the vet, below I am going to tell you some of the most interesting, not only for their beauty, but also because they are completely harmless to felines.
So nothing, if you are curious, do not stop reading 🙂.
Aromatic
The aromatic plants are very beautiful, they do not cause any harm to the felines. They like sun or semi-shade, about 3 weekly irrigations in summer and some less the rest of the year, and nothing else 🙂.
Cat grass
Known as catmint, cat basil, catnip or catnip, it is an herb that lives several times that all it needs is direct sunlight and two or three irrigations a week. It is very interesting, since It has the peculiarity that it gives off a soft smell that attracts cats (not to all, but yes to many).
Orchid
Orchids are very common indoor plants. From experience, I can tell you that cats generally ignore them, but in case they were to bite them, nothing would happen to them.
Of course, they are not plants for beginners: they need high ambient humidity, a substrate that is capable of quickly filtering water and warm temperatures.
Palms
Plants of the genus Arecaceae (formerly Palmae) pose no risk to cats. Kentia, Dypsis (misnamed areca, since there is a whole genus of this type of plant with that name), Euterpe, Livistona, etc.
However, there are some that look like palm trees but are not and that are toxic to the hairy ones, which are the cycads (Cycas, Dioon, Encephalortos).
Succulents in general, without thorns or latex
When we talk about succulents we refer to cacti, succulent plants and plants with caudex (or caudiciforms). They are plant beings that have converted their bodies, or parts of it, into water reserves.
If we have cats, we are interested in those that do not have thorns (Echeveria, Haworthia, Gasteria, Sanseviera, Astrophytum asterias, Echinopsis subdenudata, and a great etcetera). But you have to be very careful with Euphorbia as they contain a latex inside that is toxic.
