Decorative plants are great, but harvesting something from your plants (especially if that product is otherwise hard to get / of poor quality / very expensive) is extremely rewarding!

I got a plant from my father that he found years ago when we moved to a flat. It was in the corner of the bathroom on top of a shelf. It wash shriveled up and completely brown. That kind of fall leaf brown. Mind you, this plant was discovered easily 4 years after we moved in, so it had not gotten water for at least 4 years.
Crazy thing is, that plant was apparently still alive. We do not know how, but it did not die. Maybe it was feeding of the steam from the shower.
It is now part of our family and has had many cuttings made from it.
It's a crazy plant, it just does not die. I once overwatered it to the point that it's 15 liter pot was filled to the top of the dirt with water and only when I noticed a "puddle" did I act on it. We have one that is literally just in a jug with water. We also had one where the dirt was full of mold, but that plant was just fine.
I researched that little guy and apparently it's some kind of Syngonium.
I grow a lot of those manly plants lol
Is that really a thing..? Not me. But I also only have enough plants to keep my apartment a bit greener, I wouldn't call myself a "plant guy" by any stretch
Y'all are growing venus flytraps? Ngl, sounds pretty cool...
I don't get to choose what to grow. All my plants usually die after a couple of years at most, so whatever happens not to die that's what I grow.
What if the plants I want to grow are those on the right? ... plus some cool looking house plants for decoration and less stale air.
I'm in this picture and I kinda like it. Edit: super hot and cactus
