Let’s Talk Houseplants
Keep them safe.
There are a lot of plants to worry about when it comes to pets — dogs, cats, birds, even fish. Too many plants can harm your pet, so it’s best to choose the plantings that will work best for your animal-filled home. Thankfully, there are a lot of low- and no-risk houseplants that animals love just as much as we do.
Here are a few of our favorite pet-safe plants:
- Pilea
- Peperomia
- Neanthe Bella Palm
- African Violets
- Birdsnest Fern
- Calathea
- Fittonia
Solutions for low light.
Have you struggled to find low light house plants because you think they will grow too slowly? You’re not alone. Most people seem to be afraid to buy plants that require only low light because they believe the plants will not grow fast enough to justify any space they take up. Thankfully, this isn’t true at all. There are plenty of options available for those that want plants that can do well without much light.
Try out these low light options:
- Goldfish Plant
- Fittonia
- Sansevieria
- Lipstick Plant
- Devil’s Ivy
- Gold Snake Plant
- ZZ Plant
- Pothos
- Peace Lily
- …and more!

Tropicals
Houston has the perfect climate for tropical plants! The term “tropical plants” basically refers to all of the plant species that thrive within the Tropics on both sides of the equator.
Tropical plants are some of the most beautiful plants on the planet. The variances in color and texture make them not only visually appealing, but also fun to work with when creating new landscapes for your home. Many varieties make excellent houseplants.
