While they aren’t always the prettiest plants (depending on the variety) they are a great starter plant. They thrive on neglect and can do fine in low light (although, they won’t grow as fast with low light). I got one from a friend about eight years ago and it has given me so many pups! It’s so exciting to see a new pup pop up from the soil. They like well draining soil (cactus soil) and seem to prefer terracotta pots. So many varieties to choose from!

Before Greg, I would water this regularly and it’s still thriving. I’ve found these to be pretty resilient to not knowing what you’re doing.

I’ve had the Orphan for awhile, found as a leaf in my apartment’s hall. So I propagated even though it was winter & reported in Jan when I had moderate roots. It’s finally May and I just got new pups to sprout!! 😇 Snakes are so hearty

Sansevierias are also an easy plant. They do nicely on very bright, indirect sunlight but they do the best on direct sunlight for, like, the whole evening. Water once a month or so, and cacti and succulent plant food twice a year. Transplanting is important, using the correct potting soil and also gravel for the bottom and the top of the pot. Terracotta pots are the best because they can drain the excess water so pot your succulents on these pots if you can.

My cat likes to knock him over and bite holes in his leaves, but he’s strong and hasn’t let that kill him. He’s growing new leaves and I moved him so I hope he grows bigger soon

These plants are basically impossible to kill. If you forget to water them for a week they’re just fine they can do indirect sunlight direct sunlight you name it

I have a few of these and find they grow best in indirect filtered light. If in doubt, don’t water them. Probably one of my personal favorite plants. Super good for air purification too!

Snake plants are great for beginners! You can forget about them and they’ll be ok! The thing I don’t love are the little flies. I got my plant from a local plant grower and it came with the gnats. Thankfully they haven’t moved to any of my other plants, but that’s one thing I would change if I could. Otherwise, they’re beautiful and super easy to keep alive.

Snake plants are so easy to care for! They’re sturdy, so pets really don’t bother it, and also add a lot of beautiful green to any room.

Easy to care for, tolerates low light. Perfect for my windowless bathroom.

Do not over water! Mine thrives on low water and indirect sunlight. If leaves are browning, cut them off. Wipe down leaves to remove dust and pests. Don’t move around from place to place. It cleans the air and has made a huge difference in my living space! I love it!
