I never have plants in the house - you never know what is or isn't safe!

Thanks for the list, but I am going to keep it simple and just not get any!

The only plants we have in the house are ivy (they're the only one we can keep alive!) and they're all in hanging baskets.
I don't think they're iris ivy. There's a difference, right? (Note the lack of green thumb, lol.)

Thanks for the warning about Easter Lillies.

No plants = no worries!
Laurie, I'd actually be amazed if you could fit plants in that RV with all the cats
. Those pictures were priceless.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Jen, LOL!! Actually, we tried bonsais for a while! We had a gorgeous Fukien that was doing great until Winter came along...

That's when we decided - no more plants!

BTW - I meant to thank Lizza for starting this thread. I think a lot of people don't know this (I sure didn't), and it is really important!!!!!

THANK YOU LIZZA!!!!!!!

Wow! That's a long list! I have an easter lily, a bleeding heart, an african violet, a bamboo . . . long list. Looks like I can keep the violet, though. I'll give everything else away.

Luckily for me, I fall into that "no plants = no worries" category.
Great list to have though, just in case!

Oh, I'm so glad I saw this. We have one on the kitchen table, and Pug keeps trying to get at it! Thank you so much!
