Common questions
Is it safe like a Calathea or Maranta?
Yes — Stromanthe, Calathea, Goeppertia and Maranta all belong to the pet-safe prayer-plant family.
Does it need to stay away from the dog?
Not for safety. Its humidity needs and the dog’s tail are the bigger conflict — keep it elevated for the plant’s sake.
