Child-Safe Indoor Plant Options for your Home

Decorating your home with plants is a fun activity because it adds more life to any interior space. Additionally, there are health benefits to having indoor plants, such as adding fresh air and eliminating toxins in your home. 

When you visit a garden nursery, be sure to ask which plants are non-toxic to your children - and your animal companions if you have some - so that you can avoid plant poisoning and other accidents. Here are some of our suggestions that you will surely love adding to your home.

1. African Violets

This beautiful flowering plan is an ideal choice for busy families and beginners who would like to raise an indoor garden. This plant is rather low maintenance and will grow either indoors or outdoors.

2. Begonias

This is a rather beautifully coloured flowering plant that is definitely safe for children and pets. If you have whitewashed interiors, begonias are a perfect plant to add a splash of colour to your space. Be sure to check if you’re selecting the fibrous-rooted variety though as they are more suited for interiors.

3. Parlour Palms

Safe for both children and pets, the parlour palm is perfect for the indoors because it doesn’t need much watering and prefers low-lit environments.

4. Rubber Plants

This is not safe for pets but just fine for your little ones. It’s a favourite among interior designers as they enjoy adding these plants in modern homes. Rubber plants need moderate attention and loves sunlight, so best to put it in a well-lit area.

5. Spider Plants

Named because of its spindly leaves, the spider plant is safe for both animals and children. A big plus is that its leaves are rather hardy and will be tough to break, so the kids and dogs can pull and bite all they want.

Spot On Pots & Nursery have more options for safe indoor plants for you. We are a trusted seller of nursery and garden supplies in Ballarat, Victoria, and we have a wide selection indoor and outdoor plants that you can take a look in our location.
