I saw you liked a spider plant and basically all the easy to find are supper easy to care for.

I also saw you wanted some pet friendly options so here are a few  
\- Zz plant (needs very little water and super easy and a slow grower)

I saw you liked a spider plant and they are a great choice, they are super easy to grow and can bounce back from neglect very quickly.

Some other non toxic plants to consider are zz plants (they can go for months without water but they are slow growers), peperomia (they love light and you don’t have to water much, they grow supper quickly too), and Hoyas (they are a little harder to care for then the last two options but are still very easy to grow and come in so many types.

If you want some toxic plants a pothos is amazing. They grow supper fast and are such an easy hanging or climbing plant to take care of.

I would stay away from fiddle leaf figs, alocacia, caletha, some palms, peace lily and prayer plants for now. They can be very hard to take care of and one wrong mpve and they die.

Even though Chinese money plants are considered easy I wouldn’t get it as a starter because it drops it leaves super quickly and doesn’t really grow back. I also wouldn’t get most ficus’s because as a bi-gender plant parent I struggled with them but it is totally up to you.

I hope this helped sorry for yapping! :)

Sorry not bi-gendered it is beginner, my auto correct is crazy sometimes

#### PlantChad antwortete am 2025-10-18

Yes your advice helped a lot! I will keep the other ones you mentioned in consideration. 😊. See how these plants are when they arrive 😀

#### PlantChad antwortete am 2025-10-18

No worries. Auto correct can have a mind of its own at times haha 😆
