There isn’t a better way to add a bit of color to your home than to decorate with a bunch of colorful indoor plants. However, before you bring these plants into your home, make sure they’re not poisonous to your pets.

Aloe Vera

Most of us love aloe plants and we use these gorgeous succulents for decorating our homes. Not to mention that Aloe Vera is widely known for its numerous health and beauty benefits. Unfortunately, this plant is toxic to our furry friends, so make sure to keep it out of their reach.

Branching ivy

Branching, or English ivy is a popular houseplant because it’s pretty low-maintenance and also purifies the air. Sadly, this nice plant is toxic to dogs and cats and symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Philodendron

One of the most popular indoor plants, philodendron is toxic to both dogs and cats. Excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty in swallowing can be signs of potential poisoning, and if you notice any of them take your pet to the vet as soon as possible.

Peace Lily

The peace lily is one of the most adored indoor plants, thanks to its gorgeous white blooms. Don’t let its beauty confuse you and keep it out of reach of your pets because it’s extremely poisonous to cats and dogs.
