Protecting indoor flowers from animals is a problem for many pet owners. In this article, UAportal talks about practical tips for solving this problem.

Keep flowers out of reach of animals

If you have indoor flowers and want to protect them from animals, one of the best tips is to keep them out of reach. Plants can be placed in hanging baskets or on high shelves where pets cannot reach them.

Use natural repellents

Another great way to protect indoor flowers from animals is to use natural repellents. Sprinkling cinnamon around the base of the plants can scare animals away from the plants. Citrus peels or coffee grounds can also be used as natural repellents. It is important to replace these repellents frequently, as their effectiveness decreases over time.

Create physical barriers

Creating a physical barrier around indoor flowers to prevent animals from accessing them is a good strategy. It can be a simple wire or mesh around the pots. It is very important to choose barriers that allow for proper air circulation and sunlight to reach the plants.

Try repellent sprays

Repellent sprays containing natural ingredients such as garlic or vinegar can be effective in keeping animals from approaching indoor flowers. These sprays can be applied around the base of the plants or sprayed directly onto the leaves (be sure to check the potential sensitivity of the plants beforehand).

As a reminder, every flower lover wants her flowerpots to be the most lush, beautiful, and healthy. But did you know that an inexpensive spice that every housewife uses for baking can help you grow perfect flowers on your windowsill?
