Summary: Try 'witches tongue' and wandering jew.


There is a very sturdy plant called 'witches tongue' or something
similar.  I don't know the proper name.  It is a *VERY* tough
customer - both physically and biologically.  My roomate had one
once.  Sometimes it got watered.  Sometimes with coffee.  Sometimes
with beer.  Sometimes with ...

Sometimes it got light too.  Then there was the time we dusted
it off because it was getting cobwebs...  The nearest thing to
an indestructable plant I have ever seen.  It forms vertical
flat green leaves that resemble the tips of African spears in
old Tarzan movies.

Also try Wandering Jew.  It may need to be stuffed back in the pot
from time to time; but usually does well in low light and high
humidity areas.

You might also try putting in another light for the plants.
It would make the whole bathroom nicer too...

Then there are ferns ...
