Spider Plant

The Spider Plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs! It’s even listed by NASA as an air-purifying plant. Many cats enjoy playing with its dangling ā€œpups,ā€ making it a fun and safe choice.

    What to do:

    No action needed—this plant is safe!

    However:

    • Some cats may vomit if they eat large amounts (due to fiber, not toxicity).
    • Keep soil clean—fertilizers or pesticides could be harmful.
    • Trim brown tips to keep it looking fresh.

    šŸ’” Bonus: Spider plants produce ā€œbabiesā€ you can propagate—great for gifting!
