    Pothos, comes in solid green leaf, and variegated(White/Green), inexpensive. Easy to water, let it dry out, soak it over night(or just water it) us a little Miracle Grow once a month, likes to be root bound, or not. Can't kill it unless you try. Sun shine or fluorescent light(common office plant). E-mail me if you want. Ivy plants should be easy as well.

    if your palm died, get out a magnifying glass and look on th below area of the leaves for spidermites, purple with tiny brown spots on the two area, make webs like superb mesh. Or google 2 observed spider mite because of the fact hands are particularly suspetable to them. After asserting that, in case you do have spider mites you are able to desire to get rid of them in the past you place any plant back. Now for a alternative, spathofilun lily/peace or closet lily. Austrailion Ferns, a superb large indoor plant. Many Pothos, Ivys,Bromeliads in case you window is sunny adequate, then a Gardenias plant, or a mini oraange tree...

    Go to a local nursery/green house and look around. Find a shop, sometimes a florist, but may be expensive. Try a local jockey lot. Wal mart has a good variety in spring. Spider plant for hanging, peace lilly, pothos varigated with cream or light yellow is great, hearty will get very runny if you want it to; but keep some pieces cut back so it won't look stringy. Cactus like sun, but don't overwater. Take very little.Schefflera, keep cut back, hardy.Crotons (colorful) jade plant,diffenbachi,small philodendrons (not Tree phil) see a lots looks like curly hands on ends of stems, gets big. pothos name is scindapsus, ivy good for hanging basket. This is a good selection and I had most of them when my kitchen had a big bay window. Suggest you get a small booklet about indoor house plants. Check directions for each one as to amount of water, food and sunlight,. Can go to a florist and look around. Can buy "dish gardens" and replant in smaller containers if you want to get into this; but eventually you will have to repot if they do good. Water, less is more. However, a peace lilly will droop and look like it is dead, give it a good bath in sink and wet foliage and you will be surprized how quick it will perk up. For feeding I used Peter's for house plants all purpose, some are for blooming flowers, etc. Just use all purpose, according to directions on box. Cut off any dead, yellow foliage, they take water away from healthy foliage. When water, water good, if soil is very dry, water will form channels thru and not get a good soak. Keep watering till all soil is wet and let drain in sink or buy a dish drainer to use. Good to carry plants back and forth.
