I have a few spots left in my apartment. Pretty much all bright spots are used up by now, but there are a lot of dark-ish corners (especially on top of shelves and hanging planters) that are still empty.

What houseplants do you recommend for that places?

The only no-go is toxicity. At least, they shouldn’t be super toxic to my cats.

Right now, a few of those spots mentioned are used by Epipremnum (I believe Pothos is the English name for them), which are slightly toxic, but hung up so high, that they aren’t accessible. And even if they munch on them, not much would happen.

Ideally, as plus point, it would be nice if the plants are hanging down, not like a Calathea for example. I have enough of those 😅

Basically, I’m looking for something similar to a pothos, in terms of light requirements and the way of growth.

But don’t feel limited by that, any suggestion is great!

    Pothos, most philodendrons, monsteras, etc. all do quite well with lower light and will really flourish if you give em a grow light

    However monsteras and philos are not exactly animal friendly (won’t poison them per se but can be a real irritant if they try eating the leaves) My cat doesn’t seem to bother my plants though so it worked out for me lol
