Houseplants breathe life into our homes, but if you’ve ever caught your dog snacking on a spider plant or your cat pawing at potting soil, you’ll know that indoor greenery and curious pets don’t always mix. Fortunately, LECHUZA is here to help you create a lush indoor jungle that’s safe for your four-legged companions and hassle-free for you.
From smart planter designs that deter digging to expert-recommended, non-toxic plant picks, here’s how you can keep both tails and leaves wagging with delight.
Why LECHUZA is a pet parent’s best friend
Let’s face it, pets are nosy. That’s why LECHUZA’s clever planter designs are perfect for inquisitive paws and twitching whiskers:
No mess, no stress: LECHUZA’s self-watering system means no soggy soil or puddles to tempt thirsty tongues.
Pet-proof planters: No exposed compost, no sharp edges, and no toppled pots, just sleek, stable designs that keep soil where it should be.
Sub-irrigation smarts: Water is stored neatly below the root zone, eliminating standing water and reducing the risk of root rot and mildew.
Whether it’s a windowsill herb garden or a jungle-like corner of statement foliage, LECHUZA makes plant parenting (and pet parenting) delightfully drama-free.
Top 5 pet-safe plants for stylish indoor spaces
Not all plants are safe for pets – some, like lilies and philodendrons, can be toxic to cats and dogs. But don’t worry, here are five fabulous pet-friendly plants approved by the experts at the LECHUZA Academy:
1. Areca Palm (Dypsis Lutescens)
Big, bold and totally pet-safe, this lush palm is the ultimate indoor showstopper. Bonus: it purifies the air too!
Perfect Pairing: CLASSICO Color 43 or 50 for a contemporary, stylish statement.
2. Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae genera)
These tropical beauties come in vibrant shades and are safe for cats and dogs. Just keep them in bright, indirect light and don’t overwater.
Perfect Pairing: DECO 14 or CLASSICO Color for colourful tabletop flair.
3. Copper Rose (Echeveria multicaulis)
Low-maintenance, lovely, and compact, this succulent thrives on neglect and sunlight and won’t harm curious pets.
Perfect Pairing: CUBETO Stone 30 or 40 for a chic succulent display.
4. Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum)
Soft, delicate fronds that love humidity and safe for every furry family member. Great for bathrooms!
Perfect Pairing: DELTINI or BOLA Color hanging planters to elevate your fern game.
5. Zebra Plant (Haworthia Fasciata)
A safer alternative to aloe, this stripey little succulent is a striking and hardy desktop companion.
Perfect Pairing: CUBE Glossy 14 or the adorably themed CUBE Glossy Cat.
Planter picks that work with pets
To keep your greenery out of harm’s (or paw’s) way, choose planters that actively prevent common pet problems like tipping, digging, or chewing.
NIDO Cottage – A hanging hero! Keep plants out of reach with this stylish and secure suspended planter. (right)
BALCONERA Cottage – Mounted window boxes for elevated greenery and zero paw access.
RONDO – Its tall, narrow profile discourages digging and keeps water well-hidden.
CUBE Glossy – A sealed, compact option ideal for shelves and tabletops.
Every LECHUZA planter includes a built-in liner system and self-watering reservoir, reducing soil exposure and helping your plant thrive with minimal effort.
Pet-safe planting tips from the LECHUZA Academy:
Secure your planters – Especially if you have climbers or bouncy pups. Use brackets or opt for high shelves and hanging styles.
Use mulch or gravel – A tidy top layer makes soil less inviting to diggers.
Train early – A firm “paws off” (with treats on hand!) goes a long way.
Create a pet zone – Plant some cat grass or herbs just for them.
Watch for warning signs – If a pet nibbles a new plant, keep an eye on symptoms and always check toxicity databases.
