Snake plants are as easy as it comes! They don’t need great light, you don’t have to water them until they’re really dry, and I think they’re quite pretty; they’re not usually expensive either. You can usually find them in any of the big box stores. Happy hunting…

PS. If you get a snake plant, be sure not to water it until it is dry, or you’ll kill it with root rot!

First before mentioning plants, one thing is to find out what kind of plant parent you are.

If you killed a cactus then you might be an overwaterer lol, so I’d recommend going for plants that love being more moist. Along with getting really gritty, rocky, well draining soil so that they can dry out quickly before you want to water again. So plants that like being more moist are (alocasias, pitcher plants, certain ferns, and caladiums)

If you plan on taking a hands off approach and not watering for a couple weeks to a month, then zz plants, pothos, snake plants and types of succulents.
