JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 20336 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Hi, welcome Philodendron's are easy too. mine are a few months short of being 30 years old, and are all doing well. There was a lot of time while I was raising my girls that they waited several weeks to get watered & they still lived. so they would be a good place to start. also spider plants are hardy as well However, neither of these bloom. _________________________ ...........................

Spider plants are great too, and do get tiny white flowers before the baby spiders leaf out but they are insignificant. If you have cats, they will most likely eat the spider plants unless you can hang them out of reach. _________________________ ..................

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 20336 Loc: Worden, Illinois	oops, Lynne--you are right. I forgot about the tiny flowers on the spider babies.---so they DO have flowers. I had a dk green one many years ago.--Now I have a verigated baby that is "growing up". _________________________ ...........................
