It is so hard to pick! I love philodendrons, but I definitely enjoy a lot of other types too. I’m starting to get into alocasias, but I’ve been intimidated by their reputation for being fussy. Begonias are cool too. I used to have a Begonia escargot that I loved a lot. I’ll have to get a new one at some point

agreed! ah those are such beautiful plants too!! everyone is so unique. that makes sense. i have had troubles with a few before i got to learn them and how to treat them and what they need. if you do end up getting one, let me know if you need any tips!! that’s awesome (: you definitely should! i love the spiral. i finally found one near me recently.

Philodendrons for sure, followed closely by Hoyas. 🙃

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

ah those are such beautiful planes ((: i don’t know much about hoyas but i’ve been seeing them more and more! i’ll have to learn about them (:

They can be made to seem intimidating, but it’s not as bad as it is sometimes made out to be – just slam them with light, throw in some humidity, and apparently LECA is the key. 😜

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

thank you for this advice!! i’ll keep it in mind if i end up getting one! ((:

I have a weakness for purple plants 💜 I love tradescantia varieties with purple! And they grow so fast and are propagated so easily.

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

oh my goodness same here!! i have a purple bathroom that i try to bring purple plants into! those are such beautiful plants too! i love how easily they grow too (:

It’s hard to pick, but Hoya is at the top.

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

that’s interesting! i’ll have to learn more about them (: i don’t own any but i’ve seen them around more frequently!

Tough one, but dracaena

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

#### Andrew antwoordde op 2024-02-05

Don’t have a ton of them, I like variety. But thank you you too!!

calatheas are my favorite in terms of foliage, but when it comes to plants easy to care for, i love pothos.😜

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

ahh yes calathea are so beautiful too!! i love the unique patterns and colors!! i’m with you there too!! :P they’re so fun to propagate and watch recover!! ((:

#### emma 🪴🌞 antwoordde op 2024-02-03

you propagate the calatheas or pothos?

#### molly antwoordde op 2024-02-03

i was talking about the pothos (: the only way i’ve propped calatheas was just separation. i haven’t tried anything else.

Baby tears or string of hearts I just can’t get hold of either of them
