For my next plant (still a beginner plant mom), which one is the next best - Hoya, English ivy, or a snake plant?

Thank you 🥰

I just started about 2 years ago so I’m a new plant mom myself and I love English ivy and want to get one, they’re pretty easy to care for and I have a snake plant that I love and have success in growing it. Self watering plants are very easy as well, good luck in your plant journey 🌱🪴😍

Snake plants are hard to kill, but they can be slow growers, so if you need that satisfying new leaf feeling I’d suggest something else (still love them though)

Snake plant because, not only are they easy, but there is so much variety that many are not aware of. Third photo, only the back two are snake plants.

My only issue with ivy is it's mealybug magnet. Don't get ivy unless you want an outbreak :/
