Wave 1 Findings

Date: 2026-03-12

Scope:

Changes applied to source data:

Added pet_friendly to Dypsis lutescens (Goldfruchtpalme)
Added pet_friendly to Chamaedorea elegans (Bergpalme)
Added pet_friendly to Howea forsteriana (Kentia-Palme)
Added pet_friendly to Pilea cadierei (Aluminium-Pflanze)
Added pet_friendly to Goeppertia insignis (Calathea lancifolia) based on ASPCA Calathea spp. coverage
Added pet_friendly to Goeppertia ornata (Calathea ornata) based on ASPCA Calathea spp. coverage
Removed air_purifier from Tillandsia usneoides (Spanisches Moos)
Removed air_purifier from Phlebodium aureum (Blaues Kanaelfarn)

Evidence basis used:

ASPCA non-toxic entries for Areca Palm, Parlor Palm, Kentia Palm
ASPCA non-toxic entries for Aluminum Plant and Calathea spp.
Conservative removal for Tillandsia usneoides and Phlebodium aureum because no equally strong primary air-purifier support was confirmed during this wave

Deliberately not changed in this wave:

Borderline or genus-adjacent pet_friendly candidates without direct enough evidence in hand
Most remaining air_purifier entries, because several are plausible but need a stricter literature pass rather than guesswork

Operational note:

These source changes do not update the persisted backend catalog automatically.
Production still needs a catalog rebuild via server/scripts/rebuild-from-batches.js and a deploy.
