Our favorite varieties

The Verdeia selection brings together species known for their harmlessness and beauty. They offer decorative foliage, subtle scents, and sometimes nectar-rich flowers, all while being completely safe for pets.

Dwarf bamboo: light and graphic foliage, ideal for creating a soft and safe hedge.
Lavender: hardy, soothing, and fragrant, it attracts bees and butterflies without risk to animals.
Camellia: elegant flowering in the heart of winter, to bring color even out of season.
Areca palm: tropical touch and graceful foliage, perfect for a bright balcony.
Rosemary: aromatic, decorative, and edible, it symbolizes Mediterranean sweetness.

These plants also help create a healthy and balanced microclimate, conducive to relaxation and animal well-being.

Where to place your safe plants

Whether your outdoor space is fully south-facing or partially shaded, there is always a suitable plant. Our animal-safe varieties are easily grown in pots, planters, or containers, instantly transforming a balcony or terrace into a secure oasis.

Exposure: prefers bright areas; some varieties like lavender tolerate full sun very well.
Substrate: use a light and well-drained mix to avoid water stagnation.
Watering: moderate — water only when the surface soil is dry.

For a harmonious effect, group plants by needs: those that like sun together, and those that prefer shade separately. This way, you will have a balanced and easy-to-maintain garden.

Care tips

These plants thrive with very little care, making them perfect for city dwellers with busy schedules. By following a few simple steps, you will enjoy a safe, green, and sustainable outdoor space.

Watering: light but regular during growth, more spaced out in autumn and winter.
Pruning: remove faded flowers to stimulate the next bloom.
Fertilizer: a natural application in spring is enough to strengthen plant vitality.
Protection: in case of intense cold, move pots or cover roots with light mulch.

These varieties are naturally robust, requiring mainly consistency and observation. Reasoned watering and light pruning are enough to keep them looking splendid all year round.

Decor ideas & associations

For a composition that is both safe and harmonious, combine varied textures: the flexible stems of dwarf bamboo contrast with the colorful flowers of camellia or the fragrant spikes of lavender. Together, they create a lively, balanced, and soothing decor for everyone.

To enhance the natural ambiance, place your plants in fiber, matte ceramic, or recycled wood pots. This will highlight their foliage while preserving a soft and sustainable aesthetic.

Delivery & Verdeia quality

All our safe outdoor plants are carefully prepared and protected in eco-responsible packaging. Each plant is chosen for its health, stability, and beauty, so it fits perfectly into your urban environment. At Verdeia, animal safety and plant quality always go hand in hand.
