Reposting my comment because automod didn't like the way I did links to stuff
If you're looking for medium/large and idiot proof, I'd say go with an Aglaonema, or the Chinese Evergreen. I got mine at Lowe's years ago and stuck it in a corner that gets maybe 2 hours of bright indirect light in the mornings and it's thriving. There's three of them at my office that get only fluorescent light, and they seem to be fine. Plus I really like the leaf patterns.
Otherwise, you can't go wrong with some of these brown thumb houseplant staples, just be aware of toxicity for pets. All of these should be available at Big Box stores like Lowes or HD, but check out local plant shops like Urban Jungle and City Planter:
-
Snake Plant - Very hard to kill, grows fast in high light conditions, very slow in low light
-
Peace Lily - A little dramatic when not watered, but always pops back. I have one in my bathroom that has looked like death for years but still puts out a few flowers each year.
-
Pothos - The quintessential houseplant. Honestly not my favorite, but you can't go wrong with a nice little trellis for it to climb
-
Monstera Deliciosa - Another quintessential houseplant. They can get pretty big. Here's a picture of mine. They also like to climb and can really get big
-
Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum - Also known as the Tree Philodendron. One of my personal favorites. Can get big and loves light. Here's a picture of mine.
Hope this helps! Would love to see what you pick, I post about my plants in the Tuesday and Friday chat threads on this sub and I love seeing other people's plants :)

> minimum amount of plants needed
if you can see the walls/floors through the plants, you need more plants
> What plant stands, etc would you get
Lowes has some decent cheap plant stands. They're not fantastic quality, but they do the job

Give Task Rabbit a try. I’ve had very not handy friends use it for things like assembling desks or IKEA furniture

Reply to AMA: I’m Paul Farber, host of WHYY's new podcast 'The Statue.' Ask Me Anything! by PaulFarber
Very much looking forward to listening to this Podcast! I love Philly centric stories and with all the driving I do for work, I’m going to binge the hell out of this!
I have two questions for you;
- Are there any other Philly specific podcasts or stories you’d recommend? I’m currently subscribed to “The Statue” and “Found in Philadelphia”.
- What’s your favorite statue/monument in Philadelphia? Or any that are hidden and you want more people to know about?

Sounds like it must have been what I got when I was there. I think I had some kind of chicken ramen and it just didn’t hit like the others.

I wasn't a huge fan of neighborhood ramen tbh. I'd go back and try it again but Hiro and Terakawa are just so much better imo

if you think Terakawa was amazing, I strongly recommend Hiro Ramen on 11th and chestnut. it's undoubtedly my favorite. I think it's better than Terakawa, but at worst, it's just as good minus the ridiculously long waits for a table you get at Terakawa

driving definitely takes longer, but when the trains are running on schedule, it's about a 22 minute ride from the spring mill station for me, plus a short walk to the station. agreed that the schedule blows though
