gramma b Advanced USA Member since 7/25/08 Posts: 2304	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/24/12 10:49 AM Easy fast growers, low maintenance, bug-proof, table-size or floor, flowering? Pothos is one I have I can't kill and can root new plants from.

Date: 7/24/12 10:53 AM I have a jade plant/rubber tree of some kind, and it's been wonderful. A little water, a little sunlight, and it will GROW LIKE CRAZY. I also like Spider plants -- beautiful flowers! And it's nigh on impossible to overwater them. ------ Needle Needle Straight and Slim, Dust and Sweep the House for Him! --Grimm Fairy Tales

I have a "cowhorn" euphorbia (grandicornis) that is super low maintenance, grows from cuttings, but has giant thorns with tiny tiny flowers. There are tons of different euphorbias, though, some are leafy with flowers. Monstera deliciosa are vigorous and easy, if you like a tropical look. ------ mmmmm woooool

It's fairly constant. You can just cut the 'babies' off after the initial flowering. ------ Needle Needle Straight and Slim, Dust and Sweep the House for Him! --Grimm Fairy Tales

Date: 7/24/12 8:41 PM I used to be an Indoor Plant Expert on Allexperts dot com before they went to About dot com. It was great conversing with people about a subject I know and love and wish people still had time for. Listed below is my list of hard to kill plants. If you want info on any one of these specifically, PM me and I'll be your "consultant". HARD-TO-KILL PLANTS Aloe (medicine plant) Arrowhead vine Artillery plant Asparagus fern Aspidistra (cast-iron plant) Bamboo palm Cape primrose Chinese evergreen Dracena English ivy Ficus Fishtail palm Hoya (wax plant) Japanese aralia Lady palm Living-vase plant (bromeliad) Old-man cactus Peperomia Philodendron Ponytail palm (elephant foot tree) Pothos (devil’s ivy) Snake plant (sanseveria) Spider plant Swedish ivy Sweet olive Umbrella plant (schefflera) Wandering Jew ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

They have low light requirements and I only water once a week or so... they're growing like crazy! You can combine different types/sizes in one container if you want.
