I love my string of dolphins! I killed my string of pearls but the dolphins seem much more resilient !

String of dolphins or pothos!! Pothos look more full than string of dolphins.

I recommend pathos. They require a little light they drape downward, and they grow really fast and are very hardy.

My cebu blue pothos is my favorite draper!

I love lemon meringue pothos, Baltic blue Pothos, and sunshine goddess pothos

It's a bit tricky to bloom, but if you're up for a little bit of learning what it wants, dendrobium anosmum is very rewarding. Personally I think it looks cool even if it doesn't bloom, and if you accidentally get leaves instead of flowers, that's more potential for when it does bloom

I really like my creeping Jenny and devils ivy

In my opinion I love pothos. I didn’t get the chance to have one, but they are my number one Wishlist! Their leaves are very pretty, and honestly pretty easy to take care of. I learnt that while I was looking after one of my friend’s pothos while they were on holiday.

I prefer philodendron basil and heartleaf philodendrons over pothos because the tops of my pothos always end up looking a little bald eventually, both are very easy and great plants though! Here are my philodendrons
