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 [dunno]

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.
