Barley mentioned the pothos....I think that is a great idea but I want to add that the variegated pothos require more light than the solid green....so if light is really limited I would stick to the solid green!
If you have friends that have any pothos ask them for some cuttings...stick them in water and in a very short time you will have many roots...
plant and your off....keep taking cuttings as it grows and stick in the pot and before you know it you will be giving beautiful
plants to everybody you know
