Best Low-Maintenance, Pet-Safe Houseplant for a West Window

West Window = Afternoon Sun

You said "sun until 10:30 am"—that's an east window. Either way, the ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is perfect.

Why ZZ Plant?

• Nearly indestructible. Tolerates low to bright light.
• Water: Every 2–3 weeks in bright light; monthly in low light. Overwatering is the only killer.
• Non-toxic to pets.
• No repotting needed. Buy a size that fits inside your 7-inch pot (cachepot).

Other Pet-Safe Options

• Spider Plant, Boston Fern, Areca Palm, Parlor Palm, Calathea, Peperomia, Haworthia.

ZZ Plant is the easiest by far.
