Today is THE day to get back to tending to, and loving your houseplants. And, it’s also a day to appreciate just how special and important they are. They are therapeutic, lifting your mood and outlook. They add warmth and a calming effect. If you are a gardener, they give you an opportunity to play in the dirt, until spring arrives in the far, distant future. Better yet if you don’t have a houseplant go get one. The following plants are non-toxic to both cats and dogs: 1. Blue Echeveria2. Bamboo3. Areca or Golden Palm4. Burro’s Tail or Lamb’s Tail5. Christmas Cactus6. Cliff Brake or Button Fern7. Hens and Chicken8. Pearl...
