Every year during the second week in January, David Domoney, a Chartered Horticulturist and English celebrity gardener, best known for co-presenting Love Your Garden alongside Alan Titchmarsh and for being the resident gardener on ITV1's This Morning, wants to celebrate houseplants. So he's created #HouseplantWeekUK to celebrate the best of indoor gardening and help you choose the right plant for your home.
Houseplants can be beneficial to air quality and general well-being!

And here are some hard to kill plants!
https://www.daviddomoney.com/top-10-...azy-gardeners/
Here are some of my plants(no idea what the second one is called, I think the first is a jelly bean plant? I used an image recognition system(I used Google lens) to recognise this or you could just actually remember the plant you're buying
) :

Hi! The first one looks to be some kind of crassula- perhaps a crassula ovata hobbit? The second one is an aloe vera i think
I could be completely wrong though because I don't know as much about succulents!

I have 3 cats and one in particular is an a**hole so it's a real struggle ><. Even as I'm shouting at her and clambering out of bed to get her off a plant that she's eating she'll just stare me dead in the eyes and keep going. Still love her to bits tho~

Oh, how much I love them!
For those who like plants but too afraid to ruin it - from my exp, the easiest plants to grow (and not kill) are the "Christmas Cactus". Another is the Philodendron, a creeping vine that will take over your home if you let it.
