Cat Friendly Houseplants

The following houseplants are non-toxic to cats. Where known, I've added some (very basic) information on how these plants can be propagated, if you happen to know anyone who owns some.

• African violet [Including Hanging African Violet]
  Fairly easy to propagate. Choose a mature leaf and cut it off, leaving as muchstem as possible.Stick it in a pot with soil and leave it on the windowsill for4-6 weeks.
• Aluminum plant
  Can be propagated by cuttings. Looks a bit like Audrey 2 from little shop ofhorrors.
• Boston Fern
  Look for runners that have taken root, or try to encourage runners to take root.
• Begonia
  
• Cacti
  Easier just to buy some unless you're green fingered.
• Coleus
  Propagate - Softwood Cutting. Cut about 2.5 inches of healthy shoot just abovea leaf, remove the lowest leaves and trim the stem to just under the bottomleaf joint. Plant it up.[Pinch off flower buds as they form - Coleus plant dies if allowed to go toseed]
• Gloxinia
  As with the African violet simply cut off a leaf and plant it up.
• False Aralia
  
• Maidenhair Fern [Adiantum]
  Propagate by division. Remove from pot, tease the plant apart ensuring eachpart has some healthy roots. Plant up each part into individual containers.
• Miniature roses
  Buy a new one and try not to look at the wrong way in case it dies.
• Money Tree
  Nip off a growing tip and plant it up.
• Pepperomia
  Same as African violets. Cut off a leaf and plant up.
• Prayer plant
  Propagate by division.
• Shrimp plant [Justicia]
  Propagate by softwood cutting.
• Spider plant
  Propagate March to August - Just cut of a plantlet and plant it up.
• Swedish Ivy
  Just take a stem cutting and leave it in some water till you see roots, thenplant it up.
• Sweet potatoes
  Apparently you can grow these from store bought sweet potatoes.
• Wandering Jew [Tradescantia]
  Remove a half dozen stem tips about 2 inches long, remove lower leaves andplant up.
• Zebra Plant
