The Best Pet-Friendly Plant for Your Home
From flawlessly introducing a trendy plant to tackling windowless room woes — plant enthusiast and customer happiness team lead Chrissy will set you up with the perfect plant pick. 
“I’m a cat lady that loves plants. What kind of plant can I have in my house that’s safe for my cats to be around?” —Stephanie, Brooklyn

We’re cat-lovers over here at The Sill, so we understand your concerns when it comes to making sure your curious companion isn’t munching away on something that is potentially harmful to them.

There is a great selection of houseplants that are pet-friendly to pick from so why choose just one? Enter The Pet-Friendly Bundle. This duo pairs together two crowd favorites that even your furry friends can appreciate.

The Peperomia obtusifolia is an easy-going plant that does not need much to thrive. It might even reward you with white flower spikes once a year. And the Parlor Palm is a low-maintenance palm known for its air purifying qualities. 

Both ASPCA-approved plants can be kept in bright to medium indirect light and like to be watered about once every one to two weeks.
