I keep buying plants and forgetting to water them, does anyone know what plants as easiest to look after?

Indoor plants I would recommend are pothos, schefflera, sansevieria, ficus, aglaonemas, indoor palms.

The ponytail palm needs very little moisture so you might start with that.

You can't go wrong with spider plants.
Even cacti will die if you over water them.
But spider plants, so long as you don't leave them outside in the roasting sun or winter frost, are unkillable.

How did I miss that? I luV them!:p

Always had one, ever since I was little.

Dracaenas and bromeliads are not a bad bet either.

Yes, spiders are very attractive too, especially the variegated ones.
And if anyone admires it, you can break off a little spidelet and give them a ready made plant. Put into soil, they always grow.
In a bathroom, they will grow like the clappers.
