Hey there, I’m Abiha!
My journey into plant care began out of curiosity and quickly turned into a deep passion. I’ve learned through trial and error—yes, there were crispy leaves and a few dramatic droops along the way—but every plant taught me something new. Over the years, I’ve explored everything from basic plant care and watering tricks to decorating cozy corners with my green collection.
What started as a hobby has now grown into a lifestyle. Collecting rare plants, experimenting with different soil mixes, watching a new leaf unfurl—it never gets old. My favorite part? Sharing it all with you. On my website, I share honest experiences, simple care guides, and creative home styling tips—because I believe plant care should feel rewarding, not overwhelming.

When I first started indoor gardening, there were many options. But my heart fell for hanging plants. I find hanging plants satisfying. When I look at them, cascading greenery gives me peace. The other reason was that my apartment was so small that I didn’t have enough space for floor plants.
Once, during a visit to my friend’s house, I was watching her plant collection. At that time, my eyes were stuck on a hanging basket with long, white, furry-looking stems spilling over the sides. At first sight, it gave me a weird feeling. Then, I looked closer and found it was a cactus. I asked my friend, “What is this plant?” She replied, “It’s my monkey tail cactus. Do you want a cutting of it? It’s really an easy-growing plant. And also blooms.” I said, “That’s interesting.” But I didn’t show interest in getting a cut because, at that time, I was a beginner; I didn’t know about caring for cactus, and it seemed difficult for me to make it survive.
I enjoy visiting plant shops, but it’s not necessary to buy plants every time; just like that, I was wandering into a plant shop, and my eyes stopped on a plant unlike any other I had seen before. The leaves were a mix of deep green and creamy white like someone had painted them with a delicate brush. I was curious, so I stepped closer and read the little tag: Variegated Money Tree.
As a pet lover, whenever I went shopping for plants, my concern was, ‘Is this plant safe for my pet?’. Sometimes, after buying a plant, I found that it was not safe for my pet. I felt anxious. Now, what should I do? Where should I place the plant, how should I take precautions, and how can I keep the plant out of reach of my cat? Do you feel the same way as I do? Many questions. Gradually, I came to know about pet-friendly plants and learned to create a pet-friendly environment at home.
In this article, I will suggest 25 pet-friendly plants and share some tips and tricks to create a pet-friendly green environment.
Dieffenbachia, commonly known as Dumb Cane, is a popular houseplant admired for its large, attractive leaves marked with green, white, or yellow shades. Dieffenbachia is an excellent choice for novice and experienced plant enthusiasts due to its easy-care requirements.
Snake plant, also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, is one of my favorite houseplants because of its adaptive nature and air purifying ability. This sturdy plant is drought tolerant, can adjust to any lighting condition, and releases oxygen at night. Still, if there is a question about pets, especially dogs, there arises a matter of concern whether snake plants are toxic or safe for dogs. In this blog, I am going to explain all the possibilities that a snake plant has on dogs.
Alocasia plant is an excellent choice for adding greenery to the indoor environment. This plant has different varieties of colors and shapes ranging from green to purple. The alocasia is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in indirect sunlight and occasional watering. This indoor plant is also great for its durability and air-purifying quality.
Dracaena marginata, commonly known as dragon tree, is famous for its appearance and longevity. Its striking leaves and woody trunks add elegance to the indoor environment. This slow-growing tree can live for decades with regular watering, adequate light, and occasional pruning. In this article, I talked about dragon tree care.
Peperomia is mainly known for its beautiful foliage. This tropical plant is pet-friendly and low maintenance. Peperomia has different varieties with various shapes, colors, and patterns in its leaves. This attractive plant requires bright light, proper watering, and minimal care.
Aloe vera has versatile benefits, from soothing skin to nourishing hair. This versatile plant offers natural solutions for radiant beauty from head to toe.
