Plants bite back!

Summer is coming and all pet owners are looking forward to having more playtime with their furry friends in the garden. While having fun outside, it is important to remember that there are some plants which are poisonous to your dog, cat, rabbit or pet bird.

The effects of pets ingesting these plants can vary from something as simple as a skin irritation but can also be as severe as causing kidney failure. A golden rule is to rather prevent your pet from eating indoor or outdoor plants. Furthermore, try to pet-proof you garden by placing toxic plants in hanging baskets or have fenced in sections where these plants can flourish without causing harm.

The most toxic plants to cats are lilies, especially Easter and Tiger lilies. Any contact with these plants can cause serious harm to your cat. For dogs, it is the Sago Palm.

The list of poisonous plants below, is not exhaustive and in no particular order. Their level of toxicity and plant parts that are toxic differ from plant to plant.

1. Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta)

2. Lily (Lilium spp)

3. Oleander (Nerium oleander)

4. Tulip (Tulip spp)

5. Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima)

6. Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata)

14. Blue rocket (Aconitum spp)

  1. I embarked on a thrilling kitchen redesignтАЪ leveraging free online tools. My goal? A stunningтАЪ functional space without breaking the bank. I spent hours exploring various platformsтАЪ comparing features and ease of use. The process felt surprisingly intuitive.

    My kitchen renovation started with a daunting taskтБЪ finding the perfect free online design tool. I initially felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of options available. I spent several days researchingтАЪ reading reviewsтАЪ and comparing features. Some platforms boasted impressive 3D rendering capabilitiesтАЪ but lacked the intuitive interface I craved. Others offered simpler designs but lacked customization options. I needed a balance of visual appeal and user-friendliness. After much deliberationтАЪ I settled on “KitchenCraft ProтАЪ” a platform recommended by a friendтАЪ Amelia. KitchenCraft Pro offered a user-friendly drag-and-drop interfaceтАЪ a wide selection of appliances and cabinetry stylesтАЪ and surprisingly detailed customization options. The initial learning curve was minimal; I was able to navigate the software and start designing within minutes. I particularly appreciated the ability to import my own images and textures to personalize the designтАЪ ensuring it accurately reflected my unique style and preferences. The free version provided ample features for my needsтАЪ although I did note that some advanced featuresтАЪ like photorealistic renderingтАЪ were reserved for paid subscriptions. HoweverтАЪ for my purposesтАЪ the free tools were more than sufficient. The decision to use KitchenCraft Pro proved to be a great oneтАЪ setting the stage for a successful and enjoyable design process. I highly recommend thoroughly researching and comparing different free online kitchen design tools before making your choiceтАЪ to ensure you find one that best suits your specific needs and skill level.

    Ambient lighting provides overall illumination for the room. Recessed lighting or a stylish chandelier can provide a soft‚ diffused glow. Task lighting is essential for practical purposes‚ such as applying makeup or shaving. Consider installing vanity lights with adjustable brightness for optimal illumination. Accent lighting highlights specific features‚ such as a beautiful piece of artwork or a unique textural element. Strategically placed spotlights or wall sconces can draw attention to these focal points. Consider the color temperature of your light bulbs; warmer tones (2700K-3000K) create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere‚ while cooler tones (5000K-6500K) provide a brighter‚ more invigorating feel. Experiment with different lighting options to find the perfect balance that complements your bathroom’s style and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Remember that natural light is a valuable asset‚ so maximize its impact by keeping windows unobstructed and using sheer curtains to diffuse harsh sunlight.
