When it comes to picking plants for your home, it's important to consider if they're pet-friendly. That means that the plant won't hurt your furry family members if they decide to take a nibble. Some plants are hardier than others and can handle being watered more often so you don't need to worry about forgetting. These kinds of plants can be found in garden shops, online, or even at your local farmers' market.
Knowing what kind of environment your pet-friendly plants will grow best in is also important. Some may prefer brighter sunlight while others might like more shade, for example. Consider what kind of soil will work best with the type of plant you want as well - sandy soils can help retain moisture but won't provide much nutrition, while loam soils balance the two nicely. Finally, think about how often you'll need to water - some plants may need to be watered more often than others, so plan accordingly!
