Having plants inside our homes is very common, and they not only bring us closer to nature but also decorate any corner of the house.
But, we will always have to keep in mind that not all of our beautiful plants can be safe in cases where there are pets in our home.
We know that many of them can be toxic, and the problem is being clear about which ones we should choose to have inside the home. That is why below we will give you a list of 6 beautiful plants that will not bring any risk to pets.
1. Tradescantia
The tradescantia is a beautiful plant that adapts very well to the interior. But we must know that it needs a lot of light, but never direct sun . It has long, rather thin leaves that in the cases of the rustic ones are long and in the case of the indoor ones they are oval. They can be bicolor or tricolor and their colors vary between cream, silver, pink and bronze green.
2. Aromatic
Basil, mint, thyme, oregano, rosemary or sage are just some of our aromatics that will not only beautify the corners but will also provide an excellent taste to our meals. In these cases, they are the ones that you can safely keep at home that will not cause any problems for our little ones and pets who want to try them.
3. Zebra Cactus
Our zebra cactus, which is a succulent, has more than 100 varieties, but the best known is the Haworthia, which is the easiest to grow and maintain inside our homes. They have white lines on their leaves, which are like small warty tubercles. Its flowers are white with greenish veins and appear as tubular-shaped clusters.
4. Horsetail Palm Tree
They give us a very tropical climate. It has long, flowing leaves that fall over the trunk giving the effect of a horse’s tail. It has a tall trunk that resembles a palm tree. It does not tolerate temperatures below 0 degrees, so it can be grown and grown indoors without problems. It has a very slow growth rate, we only have to provide it with rapid drainage, so they cannot retain water, otherwise they will rot.
5. African Violet
There are only 6 species, all of them small in size, with oval leaves and growing towards the sides. What attracts us most are its flowers, which can be of different colors, such as white, blue and dark purple, and we can also find them in light pink . It needs a lot of light, but not direct sun. They need humidity, but do not tolerate excess water. Only when the soil is dry, should you proceed to water it.
6. Jade Tree
This succulent is shaped like a tree with a highly branched brown trunk. The leaves are oval and very fleshy with a bright green color. Sometimes and depending on the light, their ends may have a reddish edge. It blooms in spring and summer and has white or pink flowers. This beautiful plant is very easy to grow and requires only basic care. It accepts direct sun for some hours of the day, also needing shade for prosperous growth.
