What are good house plants that require very little care or sunshine for a invalid person?

Pothos are good. It's a green plant that comes in several varieties and they're very hard to kill. They don't require much light, and if you miss a watering it's not gonna notice much. It can grow tall if given supports, I have mine growing down my shelves though.

Reply:Philodendroms are tough, durable, fast growing plants, with very attractive leathery usually glossy leaves. But they can grow to be fairly large, 6-8ft high and just as wide. They should be planted in rich loose, well drained soil. If grown inside in a pot, I would use a fairly large pot, and use a water-absorbant column for support, like a slab of redwood bark, something that retains moisture to help plants grow better. Best near a window, but not direct sun light. Feed lightly, I use Miracle Grow, for good growth and color. Dust the leaves about once a month, or you can use leaf shine that you can spray on.





I have a Monstera, which is of the Philodendrom family, but with split leaves. I have it on my balcony which faces mostly south east and gets early morning sun. I have had it for several years, and have had to cut off sections, to give away several times, because it got so big. It was 7' across and most leaves 3' in length. A couple of months ago we had an unusually long very cold spell, (live in Northern Calif.) and even though the balcony is covered, the cold took it's toll on many plants including my beautiful Monstera. Ended up cutting off all the wilted leaves, down to the stem, but it is already starting to come back. They are very hardy, just give a good watering, especially in summer about once a week, just as long as it doesn't get too dry. But you need to allow extra room for the plant since they do get fairly large, but quite beautiful giving a tropical look to your home.
