I thought I had it bad now we have met a lady who visits our Senior Classes quite often and she claims she can't grow a thing!

A few of us want to give her a couple or three plants to put in her new apartment. As for me, hey, it's no secret I'm new to it myself Duh

Please suggest about three plants that ANYONE can grow. We know about the Mother's-in-law tounge. By the way, what's the true name fot it? Thanks wink

Hi, the mother-in-laws tongue is called Sansevieria. I would also suggest Hosta & Dracaena...they are pretty carefree & hardy.

I recommend a ZZ plant. It can adapt to a very wide range of light, almost never needs repotting or fertilizer and needs water about once per month.

The only thing that will kill this plant is too much nurturing.
