I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them.

@CiaraNi You're sharing your home with a ZZ plant, the only plant thus far I've been able to kill.
I salute your dedication to the laissez faire of plant management.@hemlockcookie A pity yours didn't make it. I am pleasantly surpried that mine seems to be both alive and thriving. 'Laissez faire plant management' - that's it!

@CiaraNi All those curlers intently looking at ice where plants don't grow. We just need to redirect them to the houseplants.
*seriously, I love curling and those curlers!
@forestfern Good plan

I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.
@CiaraNi keep watering it and one day it will reward you with a flower!

Have a look at Aspidistra. Known as Cast Iron plant - will tolerate all sorts of neglect.https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/aspidistra/how-to-grow-aspidistras

@CiaraNi I have a couple of these in my office. Precisely because they’re impossible to kill!

This is my hobby now. Staring at this, waiting for something to emerge. It should be a sport. Furling. The Furling Championships. The Olympic Medal In Watching Things Unfurl. Better than worrying about politics, I tell you.
@CiaraNi The next stage is a time lapse photography setup next to you

Chances are it will outlive many, many more dry seasons. Taking care by not caring much makes it promising.
