Ophiopogon — 6 species

Most Ophiopogon are not pet-safe. Of the 6 Ophiopogon species in the Growli library, 3 (50%) carry a toxic or mildly-toxic ASPCA classification and 3 are pet-safe. Always confirm the exact species on its pet-safety page before trusting it around cats or dogs.

Most Ophiopogon do best in medium indirect light. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it wants more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much direct sun.

Many Ophiopogon are beginner-friendly — they tolerate lower light and forgiving watering. Water to how fast the pot actually dries rather than a fixed calendar and most will thrive.

Growli's care library covers 6 Ophiopogon species and varieties — browse them all above. They share a similar light, water and soil pattern, so once you learn one Ophiopogon, the rest follow closely.
