Kiddo & Critter Safe

Like kids and pets, indoor plants become part of the family!

Houseplants are not to be consumed, though some plants are safer than others. If you have tiny tikes or curious critters running around, please take caution and seek a plant that is safe for every member of your family. At Reliable Plant Service, we suggest Calathea Rattlesnake, Neanthe Bella Palm, and Bird’s Nest Fern as non-toxic plant options. These plants are currently approved pet-safe by ASPCA.

Calathea Rattlesnakes are visually striking plants that love low light and high humidity. They are also considered non-toxic for pups, kittens, and kiddos. Win-win-win!

Bird’s Nest Ferns are funky plants that prefer lots of indirect light and high humidity. Watch out for overwatering, otherwise, these ferns add vibrant pops of green to any space because they offer a safe option for teething toddlers and furry friends alike!

Neanthe Bella Palms are small, indoor palm trees that bring vacation vibes into any indoor space. While they can survive in lower light, parlor palms cannot handle being overwatered, but you can mist away every day. These fantastic fronds are also pet-friendly and kid-safe!
