Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2005Indoor plants
I've tried reading the lists of non-toxic indoor plants and then searching local nurseries for such plants. This is damn inefficient and has resulted in very little greenery in my apartment. I've gone through a few ficus benjiminas. The white sap is somewhat toxic, but my cat isn't interested in it; however, ficus are touchy and I'm not having much success. Any suggestions for non-toxic house plants that can survive in moderate indirect light? Something much bigger than African Violets. Palms? Bamboos? Ferns? I appreciate any suggestions. My cat is happy with his indoor grass, so isn't terribly interested in other plants unless I spent more time with them than him.

Seeing that the pine has needles, if a cat decides to chomp on it, it will only do so once! :c) At least that's been my experience when it comes to cats and the pines.

We had one live happily w/cats for years when we lived in Miami. Like the "corn plant" (think it's called draceana) the less water the better w/potted ficus benjamins.
