# Happy Flower Pot (happyflowerpotnet.com) > Happy Flower Pot (happyflowerpotnet.com) is a free houseplant care site: it estimates the light a window gets in every month and lists which houseplants grow there, with cat and dog safety taken from each plant's ASPCA entry. Happy Flower Pot is a houseplant care site about window light and pet safety, not a gadget or flower-pot shop. It sells nothing. Not to be confused with: - A shop selling flower pots, planters or plants: the site sells no products and ships nothing. - A smart-garden or plant-gadget site: the articles about plant sensors and gadgets that lived on this domain until 2026 were removed and answer 410 Gone. - A veterinary service: pet-safety facts are quoted from the ASPCA list; in an emergency the site points to a vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
