Is there any house plants that I can grow without killing them?

I am awful at growing things, and I just want a house plant that I wont kill.

Is there any house plants that I can grow without killing them?
Trial and error my friend!


i found some plants are just not so fussy as others, yet some fussy plants grow great for me! can't keep simple ivy alive, yet orchids pretty much florish! my mom kills everything except african violets.


just go the store, by some cheapies and give it a go!


also, a regular watering/feeding schedule might help! some people over water, some under water. a schedule might help!


don't stop trying!
Reply:The only plant, of many, that my boyfriend and I have ever been succesful with a snake plant. It's got tall leaves and requires little watering... I never fertilize it, either. It's survived a lot. All of our other plants have died, but this one has been great. See the link below to check out a picture of the plant. Ours is a little bit darker green, probably because we don't water it as much. It still looks healthy, though. Good luck in your planting adventures!





p.s. I have killed a cacti.... so I know it can be done.

On a serious note though, I would suggest a plant that loves shade and moisture. Because you're plant is inside, water doesn't dissipate quickly, so it's better to get a plant that won't die from too much water. Good luck.
Reply:Probably not, just buy a plastic plant it will last longer
Reply:Get a nice plastic plant. Some of them aren't that bad.


Or you could get a small tree of some kind. Those are easy to take care of.
Reply:Bamboo is pretty hard to kill.Aloe Vera is pretty sturdy these are plants that dont needconstant attention.Look into "desiduous plants", these are plants that require little or no water.
Reply:A Peace Lilly, they're easy to look after, jus stick them someone in your house and water them everyday, once a day! they're really beautiful as well, i have one! x
Reply:if you have a sunny window, may i suggest getting a few cacti? they prefer neglect. depending on conditions, you can get away with watering them 2, 3, or 4 times a year. feed them every other year or so. also, perhaps try succulents. they go well with cacti and need little care.





for low light conditions look into ferns. anybody can grow a fern. or try spider plants. you will need to water a spider plant weekly tho.
Reply:try growing an aloe vera plant, they are realy easy to look after and the best thing - aloe vera plant leaves contain aloe known historically for its beauty and healing purposes. Its really practical to have around the house. If used on your skin you get beutiful clear skin, and if kept in the kitchen its ideal because if you burn yourself through cooking put a bit of soothing aloe on it and your burn wont leave a scar - a plant where the love you put in you will definately get back!
Reply:cactus or a fern.
