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

6. This plant with a funny name will brighten up any room

Most people know it by Baby's tears or Paddy's wig, but it has many names. Whatever you call it, Baby's tears are another great non-toxic house plant to add to your collection. To plant it, you will need a rich, moist loam. It is also acceptable to use a commercial potting soil mixed with peat moss.

Baby's tears also require a drained pot and do best in bright, filtered sunlight with moist conditions. They need a lot of water and will start to wilt quickly if they become dry. Baby's tears like humidity and appreciate an average temperature between 50 and 70 degrees.
