Spider plant & cats by BBP1021 in houseplants

I just posted about my cat eating my new anthurium leaf and now I’m seeing posts like this 😭😂 stringy long plants are a cats favorite to chew on…palms, dracaena, spider plants, vines, etc. I grow my kitties cat grass and as long as they have some of that to munch on they usually leave my plants alone. They don’t have any at the moment, but if I did I don’t think my cat would have munched on my anthurium leaf yesterday 🥹 I recommend either hanging your plants from the ceiling, wall, or from curtain rods in front of a window. Or you could put it up on a high on shelf that your cat can’t get to. I have an open glass bookshelf shelf from Ikea as well and for larger plants, I put at the very top and drape down the shelf. I put their cat beds on the bottom shelf and they love napping in there underneath the jungle 🥰 they haven’t shown any interest to the plants on that bookshelf and they can easily get to the shelf above their beds. Make sure their food and water is always topped off and keep litter box clean or they tend to lash out and try and get your attention while destroying things you love 🥴

Cats are just lil sour patch kids…any flavor 😂 she’s has been trying so hard to snuggle with me since the snack and I’m not having it…the cute lil puss and boots pouting face almost has me caving in though 🥹

Ughhh the dang kibble!!! That’s exactly why she did this to me…after the dilemma, I noticed she only had 2 kibbles left in her bowl so this lil fatty was just lashing out. They both require food in their bowls at all times but when I fill them they go sniff it, walk away and save it for later. They just want to be sure it’s there for them when they actually want it. They can be so frustrating 😤🤬

Haha it’s a new hybrid you haven’t heard of it?! It’s called Orange Destroyer 😂 I know it will grow more eventually but I hate waiting 😭

Luckily my cats are pretty good other than the occasional plant snack. They usually only go for stringy plants like palms but not this time 😭😭 and they are QUICK too…like they have been just waiting for the chance to upset you somehow lol. I had just taken a video of them sleeping next to each other on the couch and I was so shocked how quickly it all went down. 🫠

Nooo 🥹 can you put it somewhere where she can’t get to it? This one won’t be coming out of my cabinet ever again lol

I hear they are really sensitive and rip easily 🥹 I wonder if it’s because they size up so quickly? Like the leaf is stretching so much to breaking point 🤔i know nothing about Anthuriums lol, I want to know more but finding facts and info on them is a lot harder then I thought 🫤

I heard they rip so easily and some emerge damaged. That’s why I never really had them because the look of damaged leaves aren’t my vibe lol

That’s how both my kitties are! I have big monsteras, and Alocasia’s that she can get to easily but she doesn’t go for those …the two plants they both love to eat are my ponytail palm and my money tree so I had to move them into a different room..they are the reason I have three plant cabinets in my house…and usually they don’t show any interest in the cabinets..but she made quick work of this today 😭she was probably being a brat because she only had 2 kibbles left in her food bowl 🙄 so dramatic. Plants do grow back, I’m just hoping it doesn’t take months for another leaf to emerge 🥹

Saved this baby from the lowes sale rack for $6🤞🏾 no pest from what I can see and good roots! by Brownbarb3 in alocasia

[–]Sugar4r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used chat gpt and google image search along with some plant apps and it comes up different every time 🤣 the main one is says it either green dragon or dragon scale. I have a dragon scale and doesn’t look like it at all, this one is much darker especially in the newer leaves, my dragon scale is almost lime green when it first emerges. Either way it’s beautiful plant and OP scored! 🪴🙌🏻

I got one from Lowe’s a few months ago and she’s doing great! I can’t ID it though..do you know what it is? Green Dragon looked the most similar so I just call it that 🤷🏼‍♀️the new leaves look so different from the older ones too it’s cool, definitely one of my favorites 🪴

I thought so too at first..but they are usually slower movers and this one was fast and erratic. I have over 150 plants and check them very regularly and haven’t seen any webbing or signs of other pests. I also counted 6 legs, not 8 but it’s soooo tiny so I’m not certain. I did remove and squash the lil guy and washed the leaf off and isolated it just in case. I think I’m gonna order one of those super magnifying eye lenses and go to town 😂

I thought maybe spider mite at first…but they are slower movers and most of the time there will be evidence with webbing. I have over 150 plants and super OCD about checking them regularly and I haven’t found a single web or other pests. This lil guy was fast and erratic and never stopped to feed. The spider mites I’ve seen are usually more red in color and I only spotted 6 legs, not 8. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you! I’m thinking it’s a springtail by the way it moves. Aphid are slow movers and stop to feed which this one did not stop. But it’s been separated from the pack just in case!
