    Plant help needed

    So my GF bought 2 plants from the local supermarket here and I am slightly concerned they might be poisonous for my cats, but we are having real trouble identifying them. The label that came with the plant literally just says "Aloe". Anyone here with extensive green fingers can help us out?

    Aloe is very bad for cats. As far as I googled- the right one on the picture is Aloe.
    Googling for the other one now

    edit;; left one is a crassula ovata which is also bad.

    Crassula ovata (Jade Plant) is the one on the left, it is also toxic to pets.

    I'd recommend getting rid of both, better safe than sorry.

    Yeah, toss them out if you're unsure.
    Not worth risking your cat.

    Buy ones you know are fine or none at all. At least, thats what we do.

    If you guys are looking for succulents in particular for your home, I'd go with Haworthia or Burro's Tail.

    Is a good resource to check out plants you're considering before picking them up.

    Most of the tiny plants they sell are poisonous to pets, so be careful.
    My suggestion would be spider plants and lemongrass.

    Get a catnip plant.
