Echeveria
Echeveria sp.
How it looks
Echeveria is a succulent whose thick spoon- or spatula-shaped fleshy leaves gather in a radial, rose-like rosette. The leaves are tinged gray-green, silver, and pink, with a white powder on the surface that shimmers in light. The rosettes measure 2–8 in (5–20 cm) across.
Echeveria (Echeveria sp.) is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
