It’s my boyfriend’s birthday next month and I wanted to buy him a plant he hasn’t yet got. Currently we have:

  • Lots of monsteras
  • Syngonium
  • Pothos
  • Jades
  • Snake plants
  • String of hearts
  • Ferns (staghorn, blue star, boston)
  • Peace lilies
  • Rubber plant
  • Tradescantia
  • Spider plants

He particularly likes monsteras! But if there are any relatively easy to care for, or ‘essential’ house plants that it sounds like they’d fit well with what we already have I’d love to hear. Our house is pretty shady but there are certain areas that get a bit more sunlight in the afternoon. Thank you :)

    May be too late on this one. But one of my fav philos is one of the simpler, cheaper ones, & reminds me a lot of my monstera because it grows very large. It’s technically not a philodendron depending on who you ask, but Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum. Maybe get him two? Lol

      No you’re not too late - thanks for the suggestion! That does look like it would pair perfectly with monsteras.
