Can y’all suggest some beginner plants for me? Somewhere to start? Inside or outside really doesn’t matter. 🪴 ## 11 comments ### Stickman commented on 2025-01-09 If you want something similar to a Aloe Vera, try going for a snake plant or zz plant, while if you want something bigger, try a monstera ### plant mommy commented on 2025-01-09 I have found Christmas cactus to be really easy, I second the zz, those are easy, golden barrel cacti, waffle plants. Those are my easiest. #### plant mommy replied on 2025-01-09 OH and pothos are great! ### Mads commented on 2025-01-09 Scindapsus! Super pretty, can tolerate varying light conditions, dry out between waterings, tell you when they’re thirsty, \& there’s just something about the beefy leaves I love. 😍 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/F3A6oDxB5AFrwMY-8AmGdM9PkD4LkZ4epCTa5XS85C4/eJQuWUwvTnSX2IGO3xiGVw.webp?size=large) #### Mallarie E replied on 2025-01-09 Oh that’s pretty 🤩 Thank you! ### Macie commented on 2025-01-09 pothos are good cause there is so many different types and you can try out propagating which can be fun! i think peace lily’s are a good starter plant because they are very vocal about needing watering so it will help you learn the intuition of watering plants! #### Ben replied on 2025-01-09 I second pothos. easy to care, get, and they’re pretty ### Mack commented on 2025-01-09 Snake plants are pretty beginner friendly! It was my first plant ### Sunny commented on 2025-01-10 Old school non variegated philodendrons raise themselves: Bob Cee, Burle Marxii, Billietiae, Lickety Split Heart leaf shaped philodendrons: Brasil, Lemon Lime, Silver Stripe, Cream Splash, heart leaf, micans, Rio ### max commented on 2025-01-10 zz plants or pothos :) ### Plant Mom commented on 2025-01-12 Research toxicity if you have pets. Some easy safe plants are spider plants, Chinese money plant, parlor palm, ponytail palm, haworthia, baby rubber plant (peperomia obtusifolia), staghorn fern, birds nest fern. I love Calatheas but they can be a bit more temperamental as well orchids. Best of luck to you. It can become an addiction --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
