Planting

Potting up or repotting a houseplant

This guide’s details are being double-checked, so for now it carries only the safety notes.

Many common houseplants are poisonous to cats and dogs, and lilies (including the pollen) can be fatal to cats. Keep plants, leaves and dropped debris out of pets' reach, wash hands after handling sap, and act fast if a pet has chewed a plant.
