Default House plants that are difficult to kill

If you are anything like me, you dont have a black thumb but you dont have a green one either, and having plants about your home that are not in the best of shape doesnt look very good . I have pretty much killed off all of my house plants, because I tend to over care for them. Though I am proud to say I have had a Snake Plant for over a year and it is doing great. Now I want to try my hand at a few other kinds of house plants. So I did a little research and found several house plants that do well for people such as myself. Here is a list of some plants that are difficult to kill: Cast iron plant, ZZ plant, Wandering Jew, Emerald Ripple Peperomia, Kalanchoe, Chinese Evergreen, Flowering Maple, Umbrella Plant, Heart Leaf Philodendron, Spider Plant, Snake Plant, Cacti, and Bamboo. All of these house plants are said to be hard to kill. Though if you plan on going out to purchase these plants take a good look around your home, and the areas you will want to place a plant. Check to see if these areas get alot of sun light or very little. Some of these plants love the sun while others dont, so plan accordingly to your home. Just do a bit of research and you are sure to have some beautiful house plants which will have all believing you have a true green thumb.

Many people who are unable to keep houseplants, or even outdoor plants are just like you. They tend to overwater them, or keep them in an area with either too little or too much light. Doing a little research, as you suggested, is key for those who seem to always be killing their beloved houseplants.

LOL, I always ended up loving my plants to death!! Though now I just ignore them and eventually get around to giving them some water, and they are doing great. I cant believe it but its true. I do want to get some at least one more house plant for right now. I dont want to push my luck to far to soon.
