My wife has plant blood on her hands. I was originally planning to show her this but literally the first recommendation was one of the plants she killed.
If she killed a plant by overwatering it, recommend a fern. If instead it's gone dry, recommend a succulent.
All plants need a certain amount of real sunlight even if indirect. I've seen people wondering why they die, and they keep them in rooms with hardly any natural light.
Surprised that Arrowhead plants (syngonium) aren’t included on the list. There’s a good variety of colors, and they need way less attention than I expected. I’m having pretty great luck with them in my low-light apartment.
Aloe vera doesn't like too much sunlight. You want ambient light / not a lot of direct light. (lots of indirect light is good) Maybe 1-2hrs tops per day of direct light. No expert but that was my finding with aloe.
I've had a Dracaena Marginata for about 4 or 5 years now, I've had periods where I've forgotten to water it for a few weeks, and it's still going strong. This year I repotted it to let the roots grow out more, and honestly I should have done it sooner, but I didn't think it was doing this well.
I'd like to make it grow more straight upright but it's getting lopsided, even though I've rotated it every month or so.
I specifically chose it because I heard they were hard to kill, and wanted something I didn't need to be too attentive to if life and depression got in the way.
It has certainly lived up to its hardy reputation.
