OKAY plant people. FACT:
to say a plant is "beginner friendly" or "easy" tells me nothing. NOTHING.
the assumption here is that a newbie would FORGET to water it, so plants for noobs would be succulent, pony tail, sword plants, devils ivy etc.
contrary! newbies might be a bit TOO aware of the new life form in their midst & drown anything short of aquatic species.
...and old hands like myself can get a bit too chill, a glance across the room at a wee green thing, thinking "nah it'll be fine"
