Deadly Indoor And Outdoor Plants Harmful To Dogs

Many dog owners don't consider that harmless little house and garden plants may be a potential source of danger to your dog or puppy. Usually poisonous plants are more deadly to small puppies, but some plants, even in small amounts, can be toxic to dogs of any size. By taking the time to understand the various plants and their levels of toxicity for dogs you can avoid costly vet bills and even more serious conditions.

Depending on the type of plant either the leaves, stems, bark, roots or fruit can be toxic. Some plants are only toxic at various times in their growth stage whereas others are always poisonous. For information on each type of plant the internet, your vet, or even a plant and gardening book is great resource.

Garden Plants

Believe it or not some of the most common garden plants are also the most deadly. Tomato plants, both the leaves and the stems, can be toxic to dogs. St. John's Wort, an herbal plant, is very toxic leading to vomiting and seizures. Other garden plants that can be problematic include:

· Apricot

· Avocado

· Black Cherry

· Black Walnuts

· Castor Beans

· Catnip

· Chokecherry

· Eggplant

· Garlic

· Mushrooms

· Mustard plants/greens

· Onion

· Peach

· Plum

· Potato

· Pokeweed

· Spinach

Fencing the garden area or monitoring if the dog is actually eating the plants within the garden is important. When in doubt completely isolating the garden from the area the dog is kept is a great idea.

Ornamental Outdoor Plants

Everyone loves to have their yard area looking great, but not at the expense of his or her animals becoming ill. Some of the showiest of the flowering plants are also the most deadly, including Oleander and many of the flowering shrubs. The list of the most common flowering and ornamental plants that are frequently found in gardens are:

· Amaryllis

· Baby's Breath

· Bird of Paradise

· Black Eyed Susan

· Bleeding Heart

· Bluebonnet

· Boston Ivy

· Calla Lilly

· Chrysanthemums

· Cyclamen

· Daffodil

· Daisy

· Elephant Ear

· Easter Lilly

· Ferns

· Flamingo plant

· Geranium

· Honeysuckle

· Hyacinth

· Hydrangea

· Ivy

· Jade plant

· Lantana

· Larkspur

· Marigolds

· Morning Glory

· Peony

· Primrose

· Rhododendron

· Tiger Lily

· Yucca

There are many other beautiful garden flower that can also be deadly, so be sure to check with the nursery or garden shop before planting them in the same area that you are planning on keeping your dog.

Indoor Plants

Many of the houseplants including ferns, dieffenbachia, pothos, ivy, philodendron, and even poinsettias are very toxic to dogs. Corn plant, peace lilies and any of the ornamental tobacco plants can be very dangerous for both full-grown dogs and puppies.

If you think that your dog may have consumed a poisonous or potentially poisonous plant immediately get them to the vet. Bring a small amount of the plant with you, including the leaf and the flower, to help with identification.

Make a Simple Medicinal Indoor Herb Garden

Make an indoor medicinal herb garden to have your own year-round supply of herbs, for medicines, food flavourings and lovely aromas. Incidentally, the aroma in herbs derives from oils in the cell of the plants. So, a herb garden is not that difficult to make, and gives great satisfaction to adults and children alike.

Begin by selecting a suitable container, as large as possible within your home. You can use different materials including plastics, but the most recommended are clay, wood or ceramic pots. You can use many containers placed around the house, preferably in areas near windows, all of them with a different kind of herb.

Catnip Plants

Around autumn/fall time is the best time to divide grown herbs such as mint, sage, chives, and parsley, placing some of them outdoors and one or two as part of your indoor herb garden, bringing plants indoors prior to the frost period. Please, remember that young perennials like bay, sage, rosemary, can be destroyed by a harsh, cold frost, so they are best grown in pots and brought inside in winter.

When growing herbs in dry climates, supplemental watering is necessary, but not in temperate parts of the world, because excess of water could harm the plants or promote worms. A good quality, compost, from your own garden or bought can be used. Herbs aren't fussy about their soil and very often grow like weeds in their native habitat. Plant seeds just under the surface of a warm soil and water well. Germination will happen in a few days. Several perennial herbs grow for more than one season, including parsley, thyme, marjoram, sage, mint, and chives. Annual herbs include coriander, oregano, basil and dill. So try when possible, to begin annual herbs from the seed and perennial herbs from fairly young plants, however, parsley is advised to be grown on from a good quality seed. If you are hoping to grow your herbs totally from seed, purchase it from online seed companies or at your local garden supply stores. This ensures the quality of the seed, thus improving your chances to grow all of them successfully.

Some gardeners advise to plant the herbs outdoors and let them 'grow on' for a while, then moving them indoors before a frost, re-potting them to other containers. Once your herbs start to grow, pick them, even if you are not going to use them on a daily basis for cooking, as gathering them regularly encourages them to flourish, and you can dry them to store for later use, all-year-round. Dried herbs can last for up to a year, keeping the most of their full flavour.

Some herbs require sun, moving them onto a window ledge where sunlight will fall on them is sufficient, some herbs may require darkened glass pots, to help protect them against deterioration.

So, outdoors or indoors, herbs thrive in temperate areas, flavouring foods with their leaves and seeds and their aroma filling the kitchen, or wherever you set up your indoor herb garden, with aromatic essences, eliminating household cooking or smoking/pet odours. But best of all, you have the satisfaction of having your own home-grown supply of medicinal herbs, that can be taken alongside your conventional medicines. Also, think about taking herbs for preventative medicine, rather than waiting for your body to get sick. Lots of cultures around the world think of herbs as foods and take them with every meal, to prevent sickness.

Indoor seed starting update 2 weeks after planting seeds - 14 days later - growing plants

Indoor seed starting update 2 weeks after planting seeds - 14 days later - growing plants Video Clips. Duration : 5.17 Mins.


Indoor seed starting update: 2 weeks later So we are 2 weeks out from planting our seeds and will soon transfer these seedlings into the larger raised garden beds outside. For now all the plants are doing great and have all germinated and grown into very healthy looking herbs and vegetables. I plan on transplanting the tomatoes into cardboard toilet paper rolls as to let the stem of the tomato plants grow more roots - (the stem of a tomato will grow roots if you bury it, which make them stronger plants.) I plan on starting more seeds indoors about 2 weeks after planting these for successive crops. I will do this three times, which should let us eat well over a longer period of time.

Our indoor praying mantis pet - Praying mantid

Our indoor praying mantis pet - Praying mantid Video Clips. Duration : 5.00 Mins.


A requested update from a few nice people here on youtube. This is one of our three indoor praying mantis pets :) Although we have yet to name him, this praying mantis is forever hanging out in our window with the catnip plant and some gnats. It all started after we hatched somepraying mantis eggs and thought to keep a few inside to help with a fungus gnat issue related to our worm bin. The praying mantis did the job and ate a ton of gnats. I give him a little extra water on a lid every few days since it's getting hotter here, other than that he is just another organic part of our home :)
