Hops
Humulus lupulus
Toxic to dogs, unconfirmed for cats
A herbaceous climber that dies to the ground each winter and races up 4m of string again by midsummer. Give it a tall support and a deep soak in dry spells. Keep spent cones off the ground where a dog could reach them — ASPCA lists hops toxic to dogs.
Toxicity
Unconfirmed
No pet-poison database gives a verdict for cats or dogs. Treat it as unknown around pets.
Toxic Can be serious
Signs, in the ASPCA's words
Dogs: panting, high body temperature, seizures, death.

Pet-safety information is a general guide from the ASPCA's toxic-plant database and covers cats and dogs only. "If eaten" summarises the symptoms ASPCA lists for that plant; how an animal actually reacts depends on how much it ate and on the animal. It isn't exhaustive, isn't veterinary advice, and individual animals vary — never rely on it as the sole basis for a decision about your pet. If you think your pet has eaten a harmful plant, contact a vet immediately.
Care
- WaterEvery 3–5 days
- LightDirect sun
- HumidityAverage humidity
- Temperature5–28 °C
The same interval the Sabz app schedules reminders from. In autumn and winter the app stretches it; see houseplants in autumn.
Common problems
- Growth stalls halfway up — the support is too short or it dried out at the root
- Pale mottled leaves with fine webbing — red spider mite in a hot dry summer
- White powdery film on the leaves — mildew where air can't move through the vine
In the app
Add a hops to Sabz and the watering interval above becomes a reminder, the toxicity verdict sits on the plant's own page, and when a leaf turns, the Check-up reads what you have actually logged to say why.
