What plant is pet safe that be put on the HOB

[DrownedFishonFire]

People use pothos. I'm looking into plants that's pet safe especially for cats. Pothos is toxic to cats


Got a damn ADHD Bengal that's in everything including top of fish tanks. Yes I'm a crazy cat lady here. ? I cater most of my house around her antics.

So what houseplants can be grown with roots in the fish tank or the HOB? Any ideas

Spider plants, African violet, and babies breath come to mind. Some members of our local tampa group also grown basil, dill and mint as well. Not sure if they grow fast enough to reduce ur nitrates.

Spider Plants are a pain in the arse. Once you grow them, they can't come back. They grow like crazy. They are not poisonous to dogs or cats. We wanted to make a tortoise enclosure by the Spider Plants, but we cut them back because they are poisonous to tortoises in short measures. Spider Plants grew back in a few weeks.

After researching more, I see that the plant has chemicals related to Opium, which can cause diareha, vomiting, and an upset stomach. That is a risk. If they eat to much, then they could potentially have that.

On the larger side you could try the umbrella plant - cyperus alternifolius but only until it starts really taking hold and growing strongly then it will get too large, even when pruned back.
