We currently have ONE plant. One lonely, old Bamboo that we picked up in New York City (gotta love Chinatown) years ago. Pathetic, I know but our Bamboo is still going strong!! Unfortunately, I know the time has finally come to have more indoor plants so I went on the hunt for some new house plants. Since Chunyo gets himself in trouble sometimes I wanted to make sure the new plants were non-toxic to dogs. I went to three places – Wal-mart, a local nursery and Home Depot – and only came out with TWO new plants. I really wanted to get a Ponytail Palm but the nursery wouldn’t sell me the one they had – it had bugs (just my luck), then the Yucca plant and the Corn Stalks I was eyeing in the store were both toxic to dogs. So after looking through the long ASPCA list on my phone, I came back home with another Bamboo and a Pleomele. SO the hunt will continue to find some more indoor plants.
Looking for suggestions! What plants do you have in your home?

Hmm... What's this? For me?
Not sure why they got me posing next to this blue thing?

You are very welcome for your award. We enjoy your blog.
That last picture is too cute. We have zero plants. Our kitty is a good kitty, but who knows what havoc she could wreak with plants around!

We have an angel wing begonia at home. Really pretty plant with colourful spotted leaves. When it blooms it looks like a little fireworks display of pink and white flowers.
Try as she might, mum has not been able to kill this plant, even when she forgot to water it for 6 months. Needless to day, it is an easy plant to grow and care for.
Licks,
