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

7. Bring in a breath of fresh air with Swedish ivy

Swedish ivy doesn't give much about itself away with its name. The plant actually originates from southern Africa and enjoys humidity, high moisture, and direct sunlight. Like other types of ivy, Swedish ivy doesn't take much care. However, you will need to regularly prune the plant to keep it healthy. You can take these trimmings and propagate them by putting the stem cuttings in water or moist peat moss-based potting soil.

It is also important to note you should water it from the spring through the fall when it is actively growing and sparingly throughout the winter. Swedish ivy also loves being spritzed with room-temperature water.
