Picked this beauty up today and am obsessed 😍 the bushier and longer, the better imo. I’m curious what everyone’s favorite beginner-friendly plant? ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/MQfZFFCAjAgJucFbn06T9kRo-2f4jgNinkVSnV9wbLY/QfszrCJ1RUuj7OsnFUYqhQ.webp?size=large) ## 27 comments ### Alyssa commented on 2024-05-22 Ahhh! That pothos is a stunner, I lost mine sadly but am itching to get another one lol. But ZZ plant! My little one is pushing out two baby shoots after only two months of low effort care ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/QbQ6gS3upC_K7i8CKu5vpGZXfwIiYz7vqo1_foYvM4g/agZ33EDMSUi4iCWMxZ9n7w.webp?size=large) #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 Ah that’s the most rewarding thing! I just picked up my first ZZ along with the pothos today, 🤞🏽 mine stays as healthy as yours #### Alyssa replied on 2024-05-22 Oh it totally is, feels like you’re doing something right lol. Awesome! Best of luck! I water mine once a month with lukewarm water after the soil is completely crispy dry, keep it in medium light, and I’ve only fertilized it once so far #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-23 I appreciate that so much, thank you! ### FiddlerOnTheRoof commented on 2024-05-22 I LOVE Pothos. Sadly I don’t have one. A great beginner plant would be Aloe. #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 Funny you say that, that’s what I went to buy and instead came home with 2 others woops 😅 #### FiddlerOnTheRoof replied on 2024-05-22 😂😅😂 ### Amy commented on 2024-05-22 Pothos is easiest for me and easy to propagate. I also love my snake plant. Low maintenance. #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 That was my first plant purchase last year and I murdered it 🥲. I bought a smaller one and think (hope) I’ve learned from my mistakes 😅 ### Tigerlilly commented on 2024-05-22 pothos, philodendrons, snake, and ZZs! all so easy and yet so pretty. ### Rally commented on 2024-05-22 Your pothos is gorgeous and glowing 💕🪴💖 #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 $20 it would’ve been a crime to not take it home! Let’s hope I keep her looking good 🥰 #### Rally replied on 2024-05-22 To make it easier on yourself, I would buy a self watering pot, it just sucks in water when needed and when it’s low you pour water to the line and you don’t have to worry about it dying in you. ;) make it easi-ER 💕♥️♥️ it gets long and cool looking. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ZYPj3CsV8zyacc3ZHx6OGaUnU9K3taPl-JofnlUJUdo/V6f0cIEMRj6SU6wU33rufg.webp?size=large) #### Rally replied on 2024-05-22 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ZYPj3CsV8zyacc3ZHx6OGaUnU9K3taPl-JofnlUJUdo/81rSkyuJQaC-vwMnUpTJSw.webp?size=large) #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 I’ve always wondered if those actually worked, that’s a great idea, thank you 🙏🏼 #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 What a beaut 😍 ### Bucky commented on 2024-05-22 They are awesome and so easy to propagate when you're ready. I'm pretty new to plants but they are definitely easy to care for. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/61wnoEeu884eSyo2zFjGKBWs7SSSHJYBqXRheIYMb2Q/AQVIVLsYRZWG_ZCsTS5JDQ.webp?size=large) #### Tianna replied on 2024-05-22 If that isn’t the cutest darn stand I’ve ever seen 🥹 #### JenJen replied on 2024-05-23 Love the pot stand!!!! What inches is it? I think I repotted my golden pothos in 6 inches is it too small? #### Bucky replied on 2024-05-23 I'm really not the best person to ask. This pot is an 8 inch pot and it has really been thriving. I was able to propagate a bunch of leaves from it. I honestly think 6 inches is fine. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/61wnoEeu884eSyo2zFjGKBWs7SSSHJYBqXRheIYMb2Q/uZ141qN8QySPGf38oD1xLA.webp?size=large) ### KMax commented on 2024-05-23 I love a spider plant! They are sooooooo easy. Personally, my Hawaiian spider plants are my favorite. ### Crystal commented on 2024-05-23 Pothos ### StringofMonsteras commented on 2024-05-23 I would say peace lily if you have enough humidity. I have one and it pushed out one leaf and is pushing another! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DbL-BUS16AAlqekDWtdcaYQUr5A5yM5jNLpTW_G96Xo/Jlos3lt6Q0KrTXHWCNs1Eg.webp?size=large) ### ItsyourElla commented on 2024-05-23 ❤️ [More comments](https://getplanta.com/community/lZ7uAE3pQ86jnFGxrCwLrg/-84YzQXKT_WpEN7Xy2wZ1Q.md?cursor=mJNHqZUn0hdQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACZ63cgHObgGA) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
