I should add that they are only safe as long as you NEVER spray them with any pesticides. You can fertilize them with organic fertilizer, by setting them in water that contains the organic fertilizer, so that the soil sponges/sucks up the water from below. Does that make any sense? :32:

Yes I understand what you mean.
I use only organic soil and fertilize with aquarium water.

Eloy has today (never before) being interest in my plants so now tonight I have throw 16 poison plants. :(
Tomorrow I will be buying some more herbs and safe plants.

Oh NO!!! You threw away 16 plants? :( That's too bad. I LOVE my plants in the house, and the ones outside in my garden even more. :D I mainly grow orchids inside though. I also have 1 enormous Aloe plant, 1 avocado yearling (out of birds' reach ;) ), a Bonsai and some other thing I forgot the name of, lol.

So Eloy is enjoying the blooms of your African Violets, yes? :54:

Yes that was a bit sad. :( I love my plants too, but I love Eloy more. <3
We live her both and he is always outside the cage so their was nothing else to do. He can't reach the African Violets, and I hope he never will. ^^
But he almost take a big bite of a Dieffenbachia seguine. (Dumbcane)
And of course i panic and throw out every plants I knew was poison. :54:
Now in fact when all poison plants are gone, it's feels good. :)

I love your plants, Bonsai is so cool. :)

AAAWW! Of course he HAD to go for the Dieffenbachia! I actually LOVE that plant but will never put one in the house simply because the leaves literally "invite" the birds to try them. :32:

I also grow bamboo. :D

Ok. If I find time this weekend I'll snap some pictures and will post them here. :D But unfortunately none of my orchids are currently in bloom (one of them is getting there though).
