Common Plant Questions and Answers

I have two indoor cats that love to eat our houseplants. The article you have is helpful, but I need additional help. I unfortunately have nurseries that aren’t educated with the poisonous plants. I already have the list of pet-safe plants from ASPCA. Is there some way to get pictures of these plants on-line? In my area, we have places like Wal-Mart and farm stores to purchase plants. Most of the time you can’t even find the name of the plant because the description is gone.

I even had one person tell me that the cat would only chew on it one time and figure out that is makes them sick. To a cat lover!! I am proud to say that I have not been back to that nursery.

There are several spray-on anti-chewing products with a bitter taste that you can spray on houseplants to discourage cats from chewing. I would, of course, avoid any poisonous plants in the house.
