This spiky little plant would be the perfect addition to your bedroom or home office. It can survive medium light conditions, though it prefers plenty of bright, indirect light. You should also let the soil dry out completely between waterings and keep away from humidity sources.

How! cute! is! this! The product description does note that this plant sprouts an "ornamental" pineapple, so if you're hoping to make piña coladas, you're better off going to the grocery store. This pet-safe plant is also perfect for gifting.

Several reviewers note these came well-packaged
Air purifying
Cons
Ferns can be notoriously finicky when it comes to moisture needs
Thanks to their lush leaves, hanging ferns are an easy way to make a visual impact indoors or outdoors. Again, hanging plants tend to be less of an issue for most pet owners because of the height, but even if your dog gets some of these leaves in his mouth somehow, everything will be okay.

You might notice gray scabbing on the cactus (it's not harmful, though)
Bring some desert vibes into your home with this cactus. Although it's non-toxic, I'd still recommend keeping it somewhere out of your pet's reach, since you don't want them to get poked by the plant's spikes.
