    My home is a place of natural selection for house plants. Occasionally someone gifts me a plant, most of them die within months. So far, spider plants are by far the best-adapted to the conditions in my home, they thrive.

    I assume the big issue is that it’s too dark, or that I don’t water regularly enough. Apparently spider plants are particularly resistant to draught due to thick, water-retaining roots, grow relatively fast and easily grow offshoots.

    Cacti would probably do well, too, but I don’t want plants in my home that you can injure yourself with. It’s also why I don’t like roses.
