What is the easiest house plant to keep? Im a plant killer?

I want plants in my apt. No cactus. I dont care if its a weed.

What is the easiest house plant to keep? Im a plant killer?
Pothos is the easiest plant to keep alive, just make sure you water it at least once a month. Or you could start growing some cannibis sativa??
Reply:English Ivy..........hope it works......glad I'm not a plant......
Reply:Nice to meet you plant killer...I'm in that club as well. I would recommend a viney plant.
Reply:Spider plants are easy...put them near a window and water once a week.
Reply:There are 100's of choices. But like you should look for something that says a little bit about you. You can go to any nursery or major retailer that has plants and look for a plant that requires little maintenance.



Some plants need a little water but plenty of sun. Others want partial shade or sun ... depends on what light is coming in your place.



Ask a specialist what plants are most durable and easy to care for. I have a couple bamboo plants that only need water and some sun ... they are simple to care for.



The only suggest that I can give you is to make sure that the pot you have your plants in has plenty of drainage, put rocks in the bottom of the pot before putting in your soil, make sure the pot is at least twice as big as the ball of roots that you are planting (if transplanting). Give them room to grow. And last but not least ... Miracle grow once a month will make your plants love you. (I cheat and mark it on the calender when I am supposed to give them a shot of energy so I dont forget).
Reply:Im a plant killer too.....but actually doing a lot better.



I have an Aloe Vera plant that has survived everything. I have had it for 6 years!!!!! thats after i killed everything else...including the ivy!



the aloe vera plant is on my roof garden....and I haven`t watered it since I moved here (2 years ago). It has rained quite a bit this year though.The pot has broken but the plant is still going strong with lots of baby Aloe Vera plants. I might actually repot the plants and start looking after them (might kill them though!)
Reply:English Ivy, spider plants, and lucky bamboo
Reply:bamboo, spider plants or do like I do go with silk plants that look real and just dust them off once a week...I have a black thumb and not a green one so I tend to kill off plants too
Reply:Spider Plants
Reply:Pothos is the easiest. It's very resiliant and forgiving. Pothos is the kind you see that hangs really long if its in a pot without a pole. Or you can lay the branches long-ways like garland across a balcony or whatever. And you can also break a piece off and start a new plant.



Anyhow, I have one and I'm terrible about watering!! But I potted it with Miracle-Gro Moisture Control potting soil - the blue bag NOT regular green bag. It helps hold in moisture when you are bad about watering like myself. When it starts looking droopy and lifeless just water it and it comes back beautifully. Just pluck off any yellow or dead leaves. It's a full plant. Doesn't need more light than you need to read by.
