It’s my boyfriend’s birthday next month and I wanted to buy him a plant he hasn’t yet got. Currently we have:

  • Lots of monsteras
  • Syngonium
  • Pothos
  • Jades
  • Snake plants
  • String of hearts
  • Ferns (staghorn, blue star, boston)
  • Peace lilies
  • Rubber plant
  • Tradescantia
  • Spider plants

He particularly likes monsteras! But if there are any relatively easy to care for, or ‘essential’ house plants that it sounds like they’d fit well with what we already have I’d love to hear. Our house is pretty shady but there are certain areas that get a bit more sunlight in the afternoon. Thank you :)

    Let me add Philodendron ‘Glorious’ to the already wonderful list by /u/[email protected]. It’s a hybrid of P. melanochrysum and P. gloriosum. It’s an easy hardy plant with gorgeous huge leaves when it matures.

      That’s a lovely pattern on the leaves - and whoa I can’t believe how big they get!
