I just uploaded a pic of my porch #### KatKaz님이 2025-07-11에 답변했습니다. lol no I mean more like is your patio facing the North, east south or west #### YinDeezy님이 2025-07-12에 답변했습니다. The sun 😂🤣😂 ### YinDeezy님이 2025-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. How much sun does the patio get? Fun sun, part sun, part shade? How hot in the summers? Any pothos plant is a pretty safe bet any beginner friendly. Ficus plants / rubber trees are pretty easy (Burgundy, Tineki, moonshine) . They need a decent amount of light though or they start to get leggy. Basic monstera for part shade. Philo Brazil is good starter plant too #### Cici the newbie님이 2025-07-11에 답변했습니다. I just uploaded a pic let me know what you think #### YinDeezy님이 2025-07-12에 답변했습니다. Any pothos would do great there. Golden, Manjula, marble/snow queen, Jassenia. I just moved to Florida and have those on my outside balcony. A multi tiered plant stand could work in that corner. Can find those for cheap on FB marketplace. Tradescantia zebrina “wandering dude” is easy. Grows like a weed. Pretty common to find. Jade plant or Zebra Plant - Haworthia fasciata. Easy succulents. Philo Brazil. These are all pretty beginner friendly, IMO. I’d start looking into those and see if you like any of them. I recommend starting slow. Don’t go off the deep end and buy 20 plants right off the bat. Ask me how I know 🤣 Good luck! #### Cici the newbie님이 2025-07-12에 답변했습니다. Ok gotcha thanks I’m going to the store this weekend to buy your exact recommendations ### Macie님이 2025-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. herbs are easy and fun cause they make cooking so much better when they are fresh!! #### Cici the newbie님이 2025-07-11에 답변했습니다. Oooohhh i need to look into something above ground ### Dylan님이 2025-07-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. Gazanias are really nice and pretty easy to take care of. They are very drought tolerant too. #### Cici the newbie님이 2025-07-11에 답변했습니다. I’m going to look into those thank you #### Dylan님이 2025-07-11에 답변했습니다. You’re welcome ### Carolinagreenthumb님이 2025-07-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. If that picture was taken in the morning, your porch faces East. The best possible direction for plants. ( Sun is less strong) if that picture was taken in the afternoon, your porch faces west and you will need plants that can take FULL SUN! I live in SW FL and the sun as you know in the summer is brutal on plants. The hurricanes took out all our trees, so now we have no shade. Hope this helps on your plant selection. Maybe you can add a blind to help lessen the afternoon sun if you face west. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
