What are your favorite pet-safe plants?
Happy Saturday #GregGang! For #PetSafeSaturday, I’d love to hear about your favorite and/or most unique #PetSafePlants! 🐱
For me, I did tons of research on toxicity and pet-safe options, and through that exploration I wound up discovering orchids — more specifically, #Paphiopedilum orchids! Now, these little slipper orchids are some of my favorite plants, and I appreciate how unique these guys are. 🌟
Fun fact: they don’t fit the typical orchid mold because they’re terrestrial instead of epiphytic!
So far my collection has grown to include 3 different paphs, and I love how each of them totally have their own personality peeking through their mottled leaves. 💛
• Paph. ‘Hawaiian Moonlight’
• Paph. ‘Hawaiian Fancy’
• Paph. ‘Lynleigh Koopowitz’
Does anyone else have these paph species? Or any other types of paphs? It’s always fun to learn about new varieties! 🌼
And of course, the best part about paphs? They’re non-toxic, safe for #PetsofGreg! #LowMaintenance! And downright gorgeous!
If you’re interested in learning more about paphs (or any other type of orchid!) I used the ‘Here But Not’ blog a LOT during my research, and it was super helpful! I’ll drop the link below in case you want to check it out. 😅

@hoyahead I once had a parlour palm that my old cat loved a bit too much! I ended up planting it in the garden and that thing is now over 8 feet high and about 4 feet wide!… 😂 (Florida). Now I have another cat, another parlour palm and live in a different house… So far, so good! Lol 😅 My parlour palm seems to like light and being in a big pot (despite what I was recommended to do…) 😬
@MotherOfOrchids Debbie those are so cool! i’ve always been fascinated by orchids that resemble something else! the monkey face orchid is pretty wild too 😱
@BeesZenGarden that’s interesting that it seemed to take off and really thrive after you moved it! and wow 8ft?! that’s impressive!
@MotherOfOrchids, I find it super creepy! Lol… 😂🤣 But I admit a lot of orchids disturb me, I’m super picky with how they look… It doesn’t help that so far I have a bad tendency to kill them…
