I am not all too knowledgeable about plants and wanted to try my hands with planting seeds and growing them indoors!

For a bit more Context, the plant pots themselves have a Water reservoir underneath and will be Wall Mounted directly over a heat producing TV. While the room itself is quite light flooded, the spot where I’ll put them won’t get any direct sunlight, though still plenty of general light.

I should also note that since I haven’t had the best track record with plants, its best if the plants themselves are resilient for over or underwatering at times.

I also recon a hang plant would look the best, but im open for any recommendations from you folks! Thank you!

    Since you are new to plants, you will probably be better off skipping the seeds and starting with a full plant instead…seeds tend to be more difficult to grow successfully into plants and it may be frustrating for a first timer!

    A pothos could be a good choice, they’re cheap, they tolerate very low light and can thrive on neglect (and if you’re on a budget can be easily propagated, which is always fun)

      They do also look very pretty! Sounds like a good idea!

      How many should I get per pot, since they are long. 2? Or maybe 3?

        Judging the size of the pot from the photo, I’d say 3 or 4, depending on the size of the plants you’ll find.

        But it all depends on the actual sizes! Put as many as feels right when you have everything in front…if it feels too crowded, it probably is. And if it feels too sparse… either put one more in or wait for it to grow!

        You can also propagate by cutting the stems and putting them in soil, they will grow new plants pretty easily! It will take some time, but it’s a good way to save money
