Hello everybody, new plant owner here! Was hoping to get some recommendations on different houseplants to look into as I’m starting to build my collection? I don’t have a preference just excited to get started!

Absolute best number one starter houseplant to get in my opinion is a ZZ if you like greenery, snake plant if you like succulents. I got both of them back when I was a black thumb and they survived until I built up the green-ish thumb I have now. Def good for easy starters

Totally agree!! ZZ was my first plant and it was advertised as the ‘plant of steel’ and great for offices. I put it in my rather dark/no actual sunlight office and it was great!!

Hey nice to meet you! Getting into plants can be the best and most rewarding. I would say Pothos are great starters along with Hoyas! I lost a lot of plants when I first started but I learned a lot. Enjoy yourself and always come drop a chat if you need help this is a beautiful community!

I have fallen in love with all things Philodendron! There’s a wide variety of options in that family and most of them are very different from the other. All three of these are in the Philodendron family and all unique looking. I have 20 different philodendrons in my collection. Happy Shopping!! 🛒

Hello I would say money tree as long as you don’t over water them they are very resilient

My best plants that don’t need a ton of attention - ZZ plant. Snake plants. Pothos. Good starter plants. My mini monstera has done well too. Spider plant can be good too. Good luck! Read up on the light they need as I find that to be most important. My house doesn’t offer a ton of bright light so I’ve learned I can’t get those kinds of plants.

### Lizzard commented on 2026-06-22

Agree with all the above and have also had great luck with Hoyas!

### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 commented on 2026-06-22

Welcome!!! 💚 I agree with all of the above! Really great suggestions!!

Don't be afraid of orchids. They have unusual needs, but once you know how to water them, they're very hardy and rewarding
