Yep, it’s pretty much impossible to kill a pothos. I left one in the dorms over winter break for a month, and it was a little wilty when I came back 
ETA - I can never tell if I’m killing my succulents by OVER or UNDER watering them, so they just all end up dead.
Thanks for the plant recommendation. I looked up pothos and it’s really pretty and just what I’m looking for! I hadn’t thought of NextDoor, so I’ll try that too, and fb (grr, haha).
This is my exact problem with succulents! No matter how I water them, they die. Special succulent soil? Die. Humid air in Oakland, dry air in Denver? Die die die.
Dracaena is another one that would do well in the light you are describing. So would snake plants which are virtually indestructible if you keep yourself from overwatering them. I probably water my dracaena once every 10 days or so, usually when I notice it getting a smidge wilty. Snake plants can go for ages without watering.
Thanks! Curious- have other people gotten plants shipped to them from fb marketplace? Most listed say they’ll ship to me…is that legit?
I wouldn’t trust it. Too easy for it to be a scam. If you have something like a neighborhood group, I would post on there and say you want to get into indoor plants. It’s amazing how many people will offer up cuttings from their own plants.
Thanks, that’s what I was thinking.
I don’t know about spider plants (which look super cool), but pothos is ridiculously easy to regrow from cuttings, too.
That’s why people end up with so many They trim them because they’re getting in the way, feel bad about throwing away the cuttings so they put them in water, and then there are more plants!
My only recommendation is to consult the ASPCA plant list for species that are toxic to pets and avoid those.
I can grow almost anything outside and almost nothing inside, so I am no help. 
Ooo, thanks for mentioning this. I wouldn’t have known to do that.
Me and my 57 spider plants agree 
SAME. My indoor plants are fake.
I need to buy a mattress. I’m not spending $1000+ for one.
Is this a bad idea?
We have this one:
LUCID 10 Inch 2020 Gel Memory Foam Mattress - Medium Plush Feel - CertiPUR-US Certified - Hypoallergenic Bamboo Charcoal - Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0861HFYW1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_jEm1Mw4jijdqV
We ended up with two a couple years apart because of a guest bed. The second one we got was way lower quality. Not nearly as firm of foam and it broke down rapidly during my pregnancy. We’re now considering replacing our bed with a more expensive one.
Re that specific brand, we have two of these:
Zinus Justina Quick Snap Standing Mattress Foundation / Platform Bed / No Box Spring Needed / Grey, Queen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQ8ZJV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_OXqxdL5k5lqEP
We’ve loved them BUT both of them developed squeaks we can’t get rid of after we moved 
so we’re thinking about a wood bed frame soon. Ugh.
So like… short term I vote yes esp if tight finances, with the knowledge they may be on like a 2-5 year replacement lifespan, not like 10+ year.
We have bought both a Zinus and a Lucid mattress, and liked both of them. Whichever brand I’m sleeping on now (it’s one of them!) is supposed to be a hybrid and is exceedingly comfortable.
Hahaha I have to find new homes for my spider plants… I’ve got over a dozen, have given away probably a dozen, and I’ve only ever bought two. (And it’s not like I’ve potted every baby plant either)
I got my original through Buy Nothing and I’ve gifted dozens of pups across 5 different groups (I move way too much). Plus house warming gifts. And I have… I think 4? The mama plant I divided into 2, and then 2 pups I kept. And I still am drowning in pups.
I bought a plant off Etsy shipped cross country and it arrived safely and continues to do well
Yes, the plants you’ve been told about and also ZZ plants are very hard to kill, and my monsteras have all been super easy to care for and grow like mad. Philondendrons are not quite as robust as pothos, but pretty close.
A cool thing about most of those mentioned-- pothos, philodendron, monsteras, dracaenas-- is that there are variations of each. So you can get multiple plants that are all pretty hardy/easy to care for but look kind of different from each other. Dracaenas especially have a lot of styles. Snake plants have different versions but they all look like snake plants. 
The plants that have been trickier for me are ferns, especially the little-leaved, soft, fluffy types of ferns and every type of calathea. I can’t in good conscience recommend any calathea. It will just break your heart. 
Also, bigger pots with bigger plants do better for me than little plants in tiny pots. They need watering less often and they are just more stable.
I have destroyed so many plants just mercilessly and yet my Etsy calathea shinestar from HoneyPlantCo has been going strong since January. I could not explain.
