Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I think any green plants help air quality (as long as you can keep them alive : ) I do know that Spider Plants and Snake Plants are good air cleaners. A snake plant is easy to keep alive, very little watering, some light and it'll be fine! It is one of those tall spikey looking plants kind of like Yucca or Aloe, but can be kept small inside. melissa p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Melissa, You are right the Snake plant also called the Mother-in-Law-Tongue(shame).._Following is a list of what are supposed to be the best plant air cleaners. Philodendron, Spider Plant, Peperomia, Gerbera Daisy, Crysanthemums, Peace Lily, BAmboo Palm, Chinese Evergreen, English Ivy, Arrow Root, Corn Plant to name a few. --- In , " Melissa " <mapalicka> wrote: > > I think any green plants help air quality (as long as you can keep them > alive : ) I do know that Spider Plants and Snake Plants are good air > cleaners.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 And I think all of these are toxic to cats, too, more's the pity! I'd love to try and grow some...but I think there is a NONtoxic deterrent thingie for cats...come to think of it, why wouldn't Texas Pete work just the same way and it'd be a lot cheaper?!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 -Very few plants are toxic to cats,dogs or children but I know that Dumb Cane is one that is very toxic. Try hanging your plants with those wonderful Macrame hangers that people made years ago. You can find them in all the thrift stores . All that work for just a couple dollars. Must have a talk with those kitties and tell them the only acceptable place to play/potty is in the litter box.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Spider Plant is not toxic to cats - (unless I have the name wrong) I have had 100's of them and one of my cats, Maui, thinks they are a " the cats meow " . I've given up. I swear he has climbed walls to get them. What is Texas Pete? Samantha And I think all of these are toxic to cats, too, more's the pity! I'd love to try and grow some...but I think there is a NONtoxic deterrent thingie for cats...come to think of it, why wouldn't Texas Pete work just the same way and it'd be a lot cheaper?!
