I am looking to add some plants to my home. But I’m not sure where to start.. I have Aloes currently. What do you recommend I try next?

Golden pothos, or any kinds of pothos! spider or snake plants, rubber plants!🪴

I personally recommend syngoniums (aka arrowhead) or aglaonemas (aka Chinese evergreen) if you want color. ZZ and snake plants are also nice and only have to be watered once a month or so. But this app will help with that 😌

Thank you! I’ve never heard of those plants before! But they looks pretty!

I second syngoniums. I feel like they’re a great starter plant and easy to maintain. ☺️

That’s what I need 😂

Philodendrons! I have like 35 and they are all so different from one another

#### Mallarie E antwoordde op 2026-03-20

Wow thats a lot! Are they easy to propagate?

#### The leafy Angel antwoordde op 2026-03-20

Haven’t tried yet but will be soon, as far as I know you just cut at a nod and stick it in water or sphagnum moss

Take a trip to a local nursery and just stroll and see what speaks or jumps out at you. Have the app open and look up care and such or talk with the staff about beginner plants and the light sources you have. Nursery staff is usually pretty helpful in my experience.

Thank you that’s a great idea!
