Okay, be gentle, I literally know nothing about plants. But I think they're pretty and want to give this a try. What's the absolute easiest, hardest-to-kill plant I can start with?

Pothos would be my recommendation.

I’ve found pothos to be kind of hit or miss and very location dependent. We have a side room w/indirect light that they loveeeeeeeee. They hate my office with seemingly the same indirect light. We’ve also had newer plants just inexplicably start dying back when the ones next to it are thriving. Made me wonder if my wife and I just thought we had brown thumbs because every pothos we had bought when younger was just doomed to begin with.

Great plant, we have like 7 now, and a good starter but if it goes sideways it doesn’t necessarily mean you did bad.

I don’t know what this is called but I have done literally nothing with it in 20 years and it still looks the same. Admittedly it probably needs to be dusted.

Agreed with the zz plant, adding ponytail palm and peace Lily plant. Those were my first three and all are still alive and well.

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
