I'm brand new to this site and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for indoor plants that are pet-friendly (a must) and that don't require much light. My house has horrible natural lighting. Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Dave's Garden :)

What kind of pet do you have? Cat? Dog? Snake? Bird?

I have had a lot of cats. One cat just loved to eat my houseplants, obviously not good. My vet suggested a sure-fire remedy: put them all out of her reach except a geranium. They are not poisonous, but they are so horrible-tasting it will cure any animal. Worked great! My current cat doesn't really eat them; she plays with them until they die from the work-out. Most of the fun plants are way beyond her reach (anything with long, stringy leaves or vines).

Well out of reach is a problem..my lil felines make it their life mission to make sure that they get to every nook and cranny of the house! Ive tried hanging pots but in the end I just ended up with hanging cats in hanging pots! I have many cats and one just had kittens last weekend! Their eyes just started opening last night. Looking for good homes in about 7 weeks =) I will try the geranium, that is a really great idea. Ive tried using orange peels and it works on a few of the kids (pets) but not all. Thanks again!! =)
