Unique Non-Toxic House Plants Safe for Kids, Cats, and Dogs

3. Add blue echeveria for a unique touch

Succulents have risen in popularity among house plant lovers in recent years. Much of this is because they are relatively low maintenance. The blue echeveria is in the succulent family and it is bluish in color with a flower shape to it. They are truly remarkable. It likes to have access to plenty of light and doesn't require much watering. The ideal soil is equal parts sharp sand and all-purpose potting soil.

During the summer, be sure to keep the soil lightly moist and water it sparingly during the winter. Typically, gardeners with blue echeveria take their plants outside during the warmer summer months and bring the sun-loving succulent inside once temperatures reach below 55 degrees. You may also find your echeveria grows quickly. If the pot gets crowded, cut one of the buds and propagate it in a new pot.
