Pet Friendly Plants

Having plants and pets at home can be a challenge. That's why it's so important to choose the right plants to keep your four-legged friends company.

We are here to help with that choice.

Our kokedamas are all designed to be hung, preventing your pets from accessing them. Our moss and preserved plant arrangements are not only fixed to a wall and kept away from your pets, but are also non-toxic.


Our animals, like our plants, end up spending a lot of time together without any supervision.

Colors and shapes attract animals, and as such, it's important to know exactly how to maintain the relationship between them.

Here are some tips for when you want to buy a new living being for your home. Happy families only feel complete with green elements.


SOME PET-FRIENDLY SPECIES:


Calatheas andMarantas leuconeuras purify the air; with their variegated and differently shaped leaves, they bring life to your home and uplift your spirits. They pose no danger to your pets.


Platycerium bifurcatum - "Deer Horn" - is one of the most curious and fascinating plants in the fern family. At home, it can be hung high on the walls for best results.


And because succulents are captivating and possess a rare and inexplicable beauty. The secret to their harmony lies in their simplicity. Even your pets won't be indifferent to the incredible geometry of this flower-shaped plant.





Phalaenopsis orchidswere not included in our pet-friendly article. For Portuguese women, their flowers are very attractive. You can use them to decorate your home, appealing to the beauty that your eyes appreciate so much. Indoor orchids purify the air; they don't steal oxygen and don't release intense aromas, therefore they don't cause allergies. If you are the type of person who likes to sleep in the company of your "companions," or simply likes to have them lying at your feet, this plant is a must-have in your home.



Nefrolepsis Exaltatas ,being a light green, transmits plenty of light and gives a different feel to any space. The fern, as it is commonly called, is a plant that easily attracts the attention not only of guests, but also of our friends.





Pilea peperomioides , known as the Chinese money plant, is an ideal plant for apartments because, in addition to spreading its charm, it adapts well to shade or partial shade. The maximum sun it tolerates is early morning. As there are no records or indications of it being toxic, it poses no danger to your pets.


Asplenium nidus , also known as "Bird's Nest," is an ideal plant for decorating your home, hanging from the ceiling, next to a window in a basket or pyramid shape. Its broad, spreading leaves with wavy edges fill the space, giving it harmony.

They are completely harmless if your pets manage to "lay their paw on them".

The moss and preserved plants are non-toxic to your four-legged friend, as all procedures and pigments used are natural.

How to care for your pet-friendly plants:


Although they are completely animal-friendly plants, here are some tips so that they can better care for their friends.

  • The more inaccessible your plants are, the better. You can hang them or place them on a shelf or table where they can't reach them.

  • Avoid placing or hanging it alongside any type of fabric, as it may try to pull the fabrics;

  • Avoid hanging the kokedama near your pet's favorite piece of furniture.

Most importantly, treat them both with love and enjoy all the benefits they will bring you.



Finally, for those who have cats at home, we recommend having Nepeta cataria, better known as " catnip". The scent of this very special herb makes cats extremely happy. It releases an aroma that makes felines more cheerful, happy, or relaxed.
