Here’s a list of truly pet-friendly plants that won’t harm your furry friends (just in case they take a bite).
Looking for a low-stress, high-vibe plant that won’t throw a fit if you skip a watering? Peperomia is your new BFF. With thick, juicy leaves and tons of cute varieties (hey, Rainbow Ginny!), this plant is basically the introvert of the houseplant world—happy in its own little corner, thriving quietly.
If you’ve ever said “I can’t keep plants alive,” Pothos is here to prove you wrong. This trailing beauty is basically immortal (okay, not really—but close). It's fast-growing, hard to kill, and happy just about anywhere, making it a dream for plant newbies and forgetful waterers.
If you're a self-proclaimed plant killer, the Snake Plant says, “Try me.” With tall, sculptural leaves and serious survival skills, it thrives on neglect—and looks good doing it. Also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, it’s one of the best houseplants for beginners, busy bees, and low-light spaces.
Succulents are the plant world’s tiny tanks—adorable, low-maintenance, and ready to thrive even if you forget about them for a while. With their chubby leaves and cool shapes, they’re the perfect “starter plant” (and a collector’s dream once you’re hooked).
Meet the ZZ Plant: sleek, shiny, and totally unbothered. With its thick, waxy leaves and ultra-low maintenance vibes, this plant practically thrives on neglect. It's the perfect addition to your desk, bedroom, or that weird low-light corner that nothing else likes.
