We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I’m sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.

FWIW we’re in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.

Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?

Would appreciate any advice :)

    Whatever plants you end up going with, I’d heartily recommend getting some LED grow lights for supplemental light! I live in an apartment that gets trash window light, but all my houseplants are looking vibrant and healthy (my spider plant bloomed for the first time!) Since getting them. From research I landed on basically anything with a full spectrum white Samsung LED panel, they’re reliable and efficient without being too expensive. As far as plants go, I currently have 2 ZZ plants, a couple of pothos, a spider plant, a peace lilly, a Christmas cactus, and a ponytail palm that are all thriving, so I agree with what a lot of others are saying in terms of plant selection. Best of luck with everything!
