POTHOS are my absolute favorite plants—highly recommend those. They are so hard to kill (forgot to water for 4months and it bounced back fine, still very alive)

Most pothos, snake plants, ferns, English ivy normally does pretty ok in my experience, nerve plants, Chinese evergreens do ok too

There are very cheap grow lights available online, all plants (even ones that say they can survive in low light), need light to successfully grow. Low light plants can SURVIVE but not THRIVE in low light conditions, essentially. From my experience anyways. I’d suggest a pothos, to start anyways. Plus they can help you gauge just how much light is truly available.

Very true—pothos will tell you what it needs
