Morning Glory
Ipomoea spp.
Toxic to cats and dogs
A fast annual climber that covers a trellis in one season. Each flower lasts a single morning — the display comes from sheer numbers, so keep deadheading and keep it in full sun.

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
- HumidityLow humidity
- Temperature10–30 °C
The same interval the Sabz app schedules reminders from. In autumn and winter the app stretches it; see houseplants in autumn.
Common problems
- Leaves but no flowers — compost too rich; morning glory flowers better when hungry
- Flowers shut by midday — normal, each bloom lasts only a few hours
- Seedlings slow to start — nick the hard seed coat and soak overnight before sowing
In the app
Add a morning glory 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.
