    Chinese Evergreens which are close relatives to pothos and have beautiful markings on the leaves. They come in green silver and white markings. Like pothos they can take low light and aren't really demanding for water. I water mine once or twice a month and it grows easily. It drops older leaves and forms trunks but gets busy and full and can be reproduced in water. Agloanema is the scienific name,

    Another relative of Pothos is Philidendron and like it it tolerates low lights and monthly watering. Philodendrons also come in many leaf patterns and colors. Another one is called Arrowhead or Goose foot plant. Syngonium podophyllum

    Another easy houseplant is Dracena or Corn Plant, Ribbon Plant and nice one called Gold Dust Draceana. Don't confuse this plant with a finicky plant called the Gold Dust Croton.

    Draceana has leaves that are shaped like grass blades and Croton has waxy stiff leaves put him in a spot closer to the window and it'll do great.

    Sansevieria or snake plant is a very easy succulent to keep as long as you don't overwater and keep it too cold. Can tolerate low light.

    Cast Iron Plants or Aspidistra take low light and neglect give water every once a month and don't repot it too much as it likes potted roots.

    Any christmas, easter, or orchid cactus also grow well in this scenario as they tolerate low light and kept cool during winter they flower! There other cacti like this too.

    Zamioculcas zamiifolia or the zeezee plant is easy to grow too as well as any cycads aka sago palms even though they grow so slow.

    A very easy fern is the Butten Fern because they don't require the humidity other ferns demand and can also take dryer soil.

    Hawthoria fasciata is a low light succulent that doesn't like a lot of hot sun like the other succulents will also work.

    Jade plants are beautiful, don't need a whole lot of light and you only have to water them about once a month

    African violets do well in the house, but be forewarned that growing African violets can be addictive!
