aurelia - philodendron or spider plant? In my experience they are both quite hardy and low maintenance - I'm not positive about the cat safety without doing some research but I have had them and cats in the same house without anything bad happening, for sure.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've had a particular spider plant for years. Murray the Gray Cat nibbles on it constantly. During warm weather I put the poor thing outside and let it recover from him for a few weeks. It's quite hardy and supposed to clean the air too.

That's what an aspidistra looks like? Huh

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
aurelia, we have spider plants and sansiveria (aka snake plant) in our house with two kitties and they work wonders. I also have a ficus which gives a nice variation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess I always thought an aspidistra was a spider plant! Due to all the similar letters???

I think I was picturing some sort of smallish tree. For no particular reason, just generic plant image. Pretty sure my mental image of a ficus is equally inaccurate.

Yep, that is not what I thought at all

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
consider the cast iron plant Aspidistra elatior
That may be big for the space I have.
Comparing this allergy info [link] [link] with the various pet-safe lists I've found it's looking like a spider plant or prayer plant. Since the spider plant is mildly hallucinogenic for cats (though non-toxic) I was looking for alternatives. At least I'll be home to see how much effort they put into reaching it.

I've never heard of prayer plants before, although I think I've seen them. Pretty.
That's a bummer the bromeliad bothers you, they are just so cool.

It looked lovely on my shelf, but extreme sneezing is frowned upon these days. And it's not all that fun.
