Mamas & Papas-

Any thoughts on virtually indestructible houseplants that can survive with no/low natural light? Our snake plant aka mother inlaw's tongue, and ficus are doing ok. Kalanchoe is ok too. Thought to try for one or two more.

Thanks for your tips.

Pothos are really awesome, spider plants too. Practically indestructible and do well in minimal light. (And some varieties can be variegated for more interesting looks) Have fun

Aloe plants. Need little water. And great to have for those little burns that happen in the kitchen. Just snap off a little piece and rub the juice on the burn.

My mom made cuttings of her mother's African Violet for me, my sister, my aunt, and herself. Mine is the only one that has survived. We have very little sunlight. It seems that the rest of my family gave the plant too much sun.

Spider plant. And try a vine. I'm not sure what it's name is but it has heart shaped leaves and is pretty resilient.
