We need more plants, how do we do it?

Under the assumption that more plants are good, how can the everyday joe add more plants to their situation?

i thinking going with the "keep it simple stupid" theme is a good one, cause not everyone wants to water and keep up plants, move, clean etc (ie good lazy plants).

so how about some suggestions for good plants for certain areas.

so how about some ideas of plants for certain places we can add?

i have found these species to do well on window sills in southern canada and warmer places.
cactus
Aloe sp.
African Violets
Ivy
Coleus
Bromeliads
Fatsia
Oxalis
Zebrina (Wandering Jew)

i find these do quite well with really low light (or high light if available). places like desks, kitchens, bedrooms etc that only receive distant window light and whatever light bulbs that are occasionally used. many species will do well if rotated from sunny to shady spots on a couple week basis.

money trees
Bromeliads (some)
Zebrina (Wandering Jew)


more later.
