What low-maintenance houseplants are also pet friendly?

| Posted in Mid-Atlantic Gardening on

I want to expand my indoor plant collection, but I also have a few curious cats that tend to snack on new plants I buy. I have a spider plant and a couple hoyas, but what other low-maintenance houseplants are also pet friendly?

    Ponytail palm, Christmas and Easter cactus, African violets, parlor palm, and haworthia are all pretty easy and non-toxic, and there are endless hoya species, if you're interested in expanding within that genus. Of course, I'd be pretty upset if my cat ate mine because they can be pricey!
