hey i want to grow some plants in my room and am lookin for suggestions. my sister suggested a lipstick plant which sounds pretty good, her boyfriend has had one for years and he's hardly ever there to take care of it, so it's pretty hardy. it also doesn't seem to need much light. sprawl might be a slight problem though. i've also heard that aloe plants are good for small pots and fairly difficult to kill, and they can be useful. mostly i just want something alive in my room and since we can only have fish, not little turtles or lizards or spiders or whatever in terrariums, that seems a little lame and high-maintenance. spider plants are pretty boring, cacti might be good depending on the space, all the other sprawling ones i've heard mentioned just sprawl and don't do much else, all the small trees are too big, all the flowers are too boring. i saw nepenthes and butterwort suggested somewhere but i'm not sure how carnivorous plants smell since they have tubes full of decaying insects and some of them smell like rotting meat
actually butterwort sounds good. i wish i knew i had a windowsill.
