There are many resons that cats vomit. It could be related to eating the plants, but he should be examined to be sure it's not more serious than that. The most common sign of feline heartworm disease, unfortunately, is sudden death. Coughing would proably be the second most common. Coughing could lead to vomiting.

There may be things going on that you are not going to be able to see. Is his appetite normal? Does he have diarrhea? Is he indoor only? When was the last time he was dewormed? When was the last time he had his stool tested for parasites? Is he losing weight? Is he gaining weight?
