Kevin Rodrigues from <a href=\"https:\/\/gardeningmentor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gardening Mentor<\/a> recommends spider plants, rubber plants, Boston ferns, and snake plants for pet-friendly homes. These plants are non-toxic, require little maintenance, and look fabulous in any room. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/pet-friendly-houseplants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Architectural Digest<\/a> suggests other pet-friendly plant houseplants, including some with colorful leaves and tropical flowers. Their list features the date palm, rattlesnake plant, African violet, bird&#8217;s nest fern, orchid, bromeliad, baby tears, polka dot plant, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

buy non-toxic plants for your pet-friendly home, you may still want to keep these picturesque green leaves out of your pet&#8217;s reach. Rodrigues suggests selecting low-maintenance plants\u2014like the ones we are featuring in this article\u2014just in case your pet gets a hold of them. By choosing robust and hardy varieties, you can make sure your plants bounce back from any pet attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devin Stagg\u2014content producer at <a href=\"https:\/\/pupford.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pupford<\/a>\u2014recommends using baby gates to keep your pets away from plant-dense rooms. He also notes that you can utilize hanging plants or place pots on high shelves to limit pet access. You may also want to use deterrent sprays if you have particularly persistent pets. Dr. Chryle Bonk\u2014a veterinarian, working with <a href=\"https:\/\/petkeen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PetKeen<\/a>\u2014advises spraying your plants with diluted lemon juice or placing citrus peels in the pots, as most pets will avoid these scents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emphasize-pet-well-being-and-training\">Emphasize Pet Well-Being and Training <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2998d1_d0b6fdc4d0394164a7816da59e8f3e88mv2_d_2249_2119_s_2.jpg\" alt=\"Dog sitting on couch with plants around. \" class=\"wp-image-20591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2998d1_d0b6fdc4d0394164a7816da59e8f3e88mv2_d_2249_2119_s_2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2998d1_d0b6fdc4d0394164a7816da59e8f3e88mv2_d_2249_2119_s_2-300x283.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption>Photo Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/leafandpaw.com\/2020\/01\/09\/the-best-indoor-trees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leaf and Paw<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-admin\/edit.php?post_type=post\"><\/a>Although these methods will keep your pets away from your plants, they merely address the symptoms, not the root problem. As Dr. Moreno elucidates, many pets engage in destructive behaviors due to a lack of engagement. She recommends keeping your pets busy through daily physical exercise and mental stimulation from toys, play, and activities. Dr. Moreno claims, &#8220;Destructive behaviors and chewing on what they should not are often traced back to a pet being bored, abandoned, or neglected. Your pets thrive when all their needs are met. They need much more than just food and water.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Moreno also advises incorporating positive reinforcement training strategies. For example, reward pets with praise and treats if they sniff around your plant but then take a step back instead of chewing on it. If you persistently honor this positive behavior, you can encourage good conduct and avoid negative punishment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this guide to pet-friendly houseplants, you can create a lake home you and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/protecting-your-pets\">furry friends <\/a>enjoy together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n<div ><style>#sp-ea-20615 .spcollapsing { height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition-property: height;transition-duration: 300ms;}#sp-ea-20615.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; }#sp-ea-20615.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a {color: #444;}#sp-ea-20615.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.sp-collapse>.ea-body {background: #fff; color: #444;}#sp-ea-20615.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {background: #eee;}#sp-ea-20615.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a .ea-expand-icon { float: left; color: #444;font-size: 16px;}<\/style><div id=\"sp_easy_accordion-1777677052\"><div id=\"sp-ea-20615\" class=\"sp-ea-one sp-easy-accordion\" data-ea-active=\"ea-click\" data-ea-mode=\"vertical\" data-preloader=\"\" data-scroll-active-item=\"\" data-offset-to-scroll=\"0\"><div class=\"ea-card ea-expand sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-206150\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse206150\" aria-controls=\"collapse206150\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-minus\"><\/i> What happens if pets ingest toxic plants? <\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse collapsed show\" id=\"collapse206150\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-20615\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-206150\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p>Nonetheless, as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hepper.com\/\">Hepper<\/a>\u00a0Veterinarian Dr. Paola Cuevas Moreno remarks, if pets ingest highly toxic plants, \u201cthey can suffer irreversible harm such as kidney or liver damage.
