Tips for Plant Parents with Pets
Height Matters
Place plants on high shelves or use hanging planters to keep them out of reach of curious pets.
Deterrent Sprays
Use pet-safe bitter sprays on leaves to discourage nibbling if your pet shows too much interest.
Cat Grass Alternative
Grow cat grass or wheat grass to give your cats a safe plant they're allowed to munch on.
