🌿 CATIO PLANT SERIES #3 – BOSTON FERN 🌿

Looking to add a touch of lush greenery to your catio?

The Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is one of our favourite cat-safe plants for creating a natural, tropical feel while remaining completely non-toxic to cats.

Its soft, arching fronds add texture, movement, and natural enrichment, helping transform a catio into a more stimulating environment for your feline companions.

Why we love Boston Ferns:

🐾 Safe and non-toxic for cats

🌿 Adds natural texture and greenery

💨 Helps improve air quality

☀️ Thrives in bright, indirect light

🪴 Perfect for hanging baskets and elevated shelves

One of our favourite ways to use Boston Ferns is in hanging baskets where the cascading fronds create natural hiding spots, shade, and visual interest for curious cats.

Do you have Boston Ferns in your catio or home? We'd love to see your photos and hear how your cats interact with them!

📖 We've recently completed our Urban Woodcraft Guide to Catio Plants, packed with plant profiles, practical tips, and inspiration for creating greener, safer spaces for cats. The guide is available as a FREE download from the Featured Post on our page.

🌱 CATIO PLANT SERIES #2 – CAT GRASS 🌱

Cat Grass (Wheat Grass) is one of the easiest and most beneficial plants you can add to a catio.

Unlike ornamental grasses, Cat Grass is grown specifically for cats to nibble on and enjoy. It provides a natural source of enrichment, can help support healthy digestion, and many cats simply love the taste and texture.

Why we love Cat Grass:

🐾 Safe and non-toxic for cats

🌱 Supports healthy digestion

🪴 Easy and quick to grow

😺 Provides natural enrichment

💚 Ideal for catios, balconies, and indoor cat spaces

One of our favourite tips is to keep several pots growing at different stages so your cats always have access to fresh grass.

Does your cat enjoy Cat Grass? We'd love to see photos and hear your experiences in the comments!

🌿 SAFE PLANTS FOR CATIOS 🌿

INTRODUCING OUR NEW SERIES

A catio should be more than just a safe outdoor space—it should be a place where cats can explore, climb, relax, and connect with nature.

Plants can play an important role in creating a beautiful and enriching environment, but not all plants are safe for curious cats.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing a series of cat-safe plants that can help transform your catio into a greener, more natural space while keeping your feline family safe.

In this series we'll explore:

🌿 Spider Plants
🌿 Cat Grass
🌿 Boston Ferns
🌿 Areca Palms
🌿 Parlour Palms
🌿 African Violets
..and many more cat-friendly options.

Whether you already have a catio or are planning one in the future, this series will help you create a safer, greener, and more enriching environment for your cats.

🐾 What plants do you currently have in your catio, garden, or home that your cats love to investigate?
