Ideas for pet-friendly plants
Houseplants are hugely popular these days but you ll have to do some research before purchasing certain ones if you have pets. In last week s Homestyle cover story, we outlined some great plants to start with for the plant-challenged but many of them pothos, ZZ plant, sansevieria and peace lily are toxic to pets.

Calathea: They re sometimes finicky but a really great houseplant with beautiful leaves, says Green.
