Yes, the Tillandsia streptophylla is non-toxic and considered pet-safe. It is a great choice if you have curious pets that like to investigate your houseplants.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help it maintain its architectural form and healthy growth.
