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.
::checks Google::
Yep, that is not what I thought at all

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.

Morning, insomniacs and people who will see this post in usual business hours.
I am stressed and I've been stressed since yesterday noon. I think I am re-discovering that even if I do my best to do everything I can to do all the chores and tasks and work and school and asking friends how they are, it still doesn't help with the politics or the pandemic numbers to be any better.
