Colors or green? How’s your humidity? \& how far away from a north or south facing window? #### Manda replied on 2026-02-22 I like both small/big. I’m open to whatever. The humidity in the summer is perfect alil chill in the winter not to much though. ### Paniinii commented on 2026-02-22 My first two plants were a snake plant and a spider plant and they both did well in partial sun for some hours and then shade the rest of the time. Obviously they prefer more light but sometimes that’s just not possible 🤷🏼 ### Crazy plant lady commented on 2026-02-23 I got one for you, cyrtosperma johnstonii, it's a big plant that thrives is shade and indirect sun ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wsiBWdWWuSAxTYTBm9QPYArkl1vHLBDGtncejiF7b7k/M8OoJxuaSy-sGoq4W0MtAQ.webp?size=large) #### Lynda replied on 2026-02-23 What a beautiful plant! I would love to have one of those. Can you tell me where you purchased it? TIA! #### Manda replied on 2026-02-23 Ima check this out and see if I can find it #### Crazy plant lady replied on 2026-02-23 Check out the palmstreet app ### Auxsman commented on 2026-02-23 Aloe plant, Jade Plant, MONSTERA, algonema (very pretty \& easy) #### Manda replied on 2026-02-23 I have a monstera .. ima check those other ones out ### Adrian commented on 2026-02-23 Peperomia obtusifolias and goldfish plants. They both come in a variety of shapes and colors, they can handle a variety of light conditions, they’re both non-toxic to people and pets, they’re usually pretty inexpensive (most peperomia are around $7-9 or $12-14 where I live, depending on the size, and my orange goldfish plant was $7 when I bought it and the one with the red speckled flowers was about $20 for that size), and the goldfish plant is an easy plant to get to flower. I’ve found they do best in a quality cactus mix (I swear by Espoma’s cactus and succulent mix for mine) and completely drying out between waterings. They pretty much act like succulents for me, so I love gifting and recommending them to beginners that don’t have tons of light. Here’s a few of mine, for example 😊 (If you want to know what any of these are specifically, in order, they should be a marbled Peperomia obtusifolia, a Nematanthus ‘Shady Lady Mae’, a variegated Peperomia obtusifolia ‘Sweet and Sour’, and a Nematanthus gregarius) ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/DDdjK8T-TzGofa8rHMRseQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/7xZzJU8HSEacUduMzC0pUg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/-SfntFAtR-eTUN-VOUwEXA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/rlpKdImARCGFMSuZ5glfEw.webp?size=large) #### Adrian replied on 2026-02-23 (Here’s a regular variegated peperomia obtusifolia, close ups of the flowers of my goldfish plants, and a peperomia clusiifolia ‘red margin’) ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/4YCbXDDeSo6ubDMG-xQUzQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/2_s9nwjzQDWiTkafaVFJhA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/ZSjOSbLuRiuz7vgriDhwhA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/bZRmTWbgRaOIbu8w552uYQ.webp?size=large) #### Manda replied on 2026-02-23 These are so cute #### Manda replied on 2026-02-23 This goldfish one has the right name --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
