| You can usually leave plants in their original containers for 2-3 years but they probably should be repotted after that amount of time. I'll include a list of plants that are considered non-toxic but it's still a good idea to keep children from eating them. As for attractive birds and butterflies, choose plants with bright flowers and you should have no problems. Here are the non-toxic plants: African Violet ? Saintpaulia species; Aluminum Plant ?
