The original plant I've had for over 20 years. It has been very hardy.
@TomeReader Whatever she's doing, it's working. Kudos. (Good-looking plant!)
So lovely.
I wish I could keep plants alive.
(My latest challenge is that my apartment gets *very* little natural light.)

Honestly, the prayer plant is the only plant I've kept alive. I had a zebra plant that never thrived and finally died when my husband accidentally tipped it over during the move.
I'd love to try more, but I now have a cat who loves to jump and eat plants.
That's part of the problem here, too. I have lovely wide windowsills I could put plants in, where they'd get indirect sun most of the day... but cats.
I *have* done well with a large rubber plant, but they need more sun than I currently have.
@tyghebright @TomeReader Prayer plants, and most plants in the Maranta/Calathea family will do well in low light. My prayer plant lived in my bedroom with no real sunlight, just lamp light and it's still beautiful. And they're pet safe. There are a few others like Monstera and the Zz plant that like low light, but I can't say how safe they are for pets.
I might give one a try.
I didn't even realize how little light I had until a couple of plants died. I'm in a ground floor apartment that faces a courtyard, and has walkways above that create shade. So no direct light at all.
But if I can get a couple of small plants growing, I'd love it.
@TomeReader wow, it’s doing great!
