This is good information as my dear cat bites and chews on every plant I bring into the house. I have never bought a dyed orchid as I know the next flowering will be a disappointment!
Hi, I have my own 4 little Phalaenopsis Orchids. They are beautiful, none are dyed. But my mom wants to throw them away because my cat apparently got poisoned by these. She ate something in my little orchid terrarium. I myself have never fertilized them and I believe the last time my dad fertilized them was definitely more than a half a year ago. I just repotted them into a bark mix. Could it be the orchids got some toxin into their water or maybe they are just poisonous (which I don’t believe so)? Or could it be the bark? My parents blamed me for having them and poisoning my cat. I showed them every article and list of non toxic plants to cats, horses, dogs and even rabbits. Please help, one of them was a gift from my partner and I really miss it, but I don’t want to hurt my kittens.
Hi Nightlock, I'm sorry to hear this. Orchids are not posinous, and even if she ate the bark with fertilizer, it wouldn't have poisoned her. She must have eaten something else.
Thank you for responding! In my country orchids are still deemed as poisonous to cats and dogs. My mom said she showed a picture of my orchid to the vet and she said it is poisonous. I don’t understand why vets don’t search up and learn newer information especially when orchids are common houseplants here. ASPCA has categorized orchids non toxic but you can’t change their mind.
Hi An RN, I have a video about why I don't water with ice cubes and why the evidence they used isn't enough to sustain this method. I'll go back and watch this specific video again, but did I give the impression that I watered with ice cubes here? If I did, I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. I'm against it.
