What are your favorite plants?

And on a scale of 1-10, how likely is it to survive someone with a black thumb?

It's survival of the fittest in my house at the moment because my plants aren't liking the cold weather, and my favorites that have been flourishing are my calatheas by far. Oddly enough they seem to thrive off of neglect, and I'd definitely love to hear about some other pretty plants/plants that people have had good experiences keeping alive! 

I’m probably one of those with a black thumb, though a fair amount of my plants seem to be doing fine except for my succulents. But I think that’s more of a result of my windows not giving off enough light rather than my personal ability.

Unfortunately one of my favorites, my wandering jew, is struggling right now. —And just a few weeks ago it was looking lovely. Now it’s all sad and droopy :( not sure if I overwatered it, underwatered it, or it’s just not been getting enough sun. I placed it near better-lit window, so hopefully it’ll improve. 

But other than that, a few of my plants that seem to be doing the best is my peace lily and spider plant. Well, best by my standards anyway. 

I've got a little jade plant of the hobbit cultivar and I love her a lot, she's the only plant I've ever been able to keep consistently alive. I just got some mums for the porch too, so hopefully they do ok!

If you're new to plants pothos are great. Low light, low water. I took one home from my old job when we moved offices and she's been THRIVING with new growth at my place. I also have a Golden Goddess who seems to thrive with the same care. 

ok im definitely not an experienced plant person, i dont even know what half of my plants are called but i love them and im doing my best ok 

i have this one huge vine, im not sure if its a philodendron cordatum or hederacuem, but hes mf thriving, i got him in jan~ 2014, and hes grown at least 8 feet on a couple vines. i also have a hope plant which i Just Learned now via google, is also a philodendron, my god theyre everywhere. he grew one big leaf thats a foot in diameter n then gave up on big stuff, keeps making small leaves smh. 

I used to raise carnivorous plants. I think the most I've had at one time is 10 and they were so cool. I don't have the setup to do it again since you need to maintain humidity (hard to do in Southern California with dry heat) and feed them. I used to collect aphids from my mom's roses for their food.

I really, really like Peace Lily's. They're incredibly easy to raise and they reproduce at least once a year. I took in an abandoned/neglected Peace Lily from work, and she's given me four more plants so far. I could have taken another one off her this year, but I forgot in the spring and now I'm afraid to dig her up cause of the weather. They let you know when they need water since they get droopy, and once you give em a lil sip they pick right up in a couple hours. They're pretty resilient, and double as an air purifier. 

I really like spider plants and succulents. My current spider plant made the drive from Arizona to New Jersey in August in the back of a moving truck. Unloaded it and within a day all the leaves wilted so I removed them and now it is almost back to being as big as before the move! I have it outside on the patio so it gets rain water and plenty of sun, but since it is cooling down I'm going to try to find a place inside I can move it to. Spider plants are nice because they can do perfectly fine in low light, in my old apartment it lived on top of my fridge and was perfectly happy and healthy.

I keep cacti and I have a succulent. They are hardy, and I just really like the aesthetic of them.

Another plant I have had luck with is the golden pothos. They vine, require little lighting, and they practically live in water (they are hard to over water).

I've got a snake plant that seems to thrive off neglect haha, havent killed on of those yet. Some other good plants i think are harder to kill are Pothos and Arrowhead ivy. Arrowhead ivy was my first plant, I just kinda watered it whenever it felt dry and it seemed to thrive easily!

Other than that, as mentioned above, most succulents and cacti are normally fairly easy as long as you can keep yourself from watering them too often! :p
