Spider plants are wonderful, and they constantly are sending out shoots so if the main plant dies, there are always plenty of little ons that you can start over with. My wife is about ready to toss our spider plants out the window we have so many of them...
Also, I've always had good luck with jade plants. They need to dry out between waterings, and do very well if they are in small pots. When they become rootbound, they grow like crazy. But don't overwater them, or they will droop and rot. I usually water mine every two-three weeks, and they do great. I killed a really big one that I had for years when I started watering it every week.

Darn you, that was what I was going to suggest...
I'm assuming you were joking, as I would have been? That stuff, from what I've heard of the deep south, is nigh on impossible to kill...

Yeah, joking.
Maybe an airplant? Or tillandsia, if you want a more "exotic" name. They're tiny succulents that are native to Mexico and other NA desert climates. They don't need any soil or water to grow, and they look pretty when they blossom, as most desert plants do. I've seen them sold freestanding, but often they're glued onto a shell or piece of wood or something, so I think you should glue it onto your wall just to see what happens. They can bring down power lines by growing in clumps on them. They're pretty cool.

My mind is clearly damaged - I just came from a General Discussion thread about Druids to Off-Topic, and started trying to figure out why a thread that would clearly be useful to them would be Off-Topic?
Kudzu can be a menace, but there are also a lot of uses for it: A drug to treat alcoholism (waiting on FDA approval) can be extracted from it, there's kudzu tea, jelly, syrup, and quiche, paper, baskets, and hay to feed cows. And the Japanese use its tubers, ground up, as a flavoring for soy tofu. You can get kudzu seeds from several major seed companies, who list it as a "hardy ornamental perennial", although transplants are, obviously, easier to get started. It has clusters of reddish purple flowers, and is quite pretty during certain times of the year. Just be careful to plant it indoors - NEVER OUTSIDE - and when you trim it (and you will, not that it needs it or will care), be careful about not letting the trash you threw any seeds in stay around too long, because it is extremely difficult to remove from your property once it has started to grow. And never, ever, feed it after midnight.

Not a plant but a plant helper- A Violet Pot-haiiro said:I've got a brown thumb, but lately I've really been wanting some plants to brighten up my new place. To survive my periodic neglect, they're going to need to be hardy little buggers -- other than cacti, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
It is a ceramic two part pot, the bottom pot holds the water and the top part holds the plant Though Violet is in the name they work great for other plants as well and come in a huge veriaty of sizes and colors. You have to remeber to add water every few weeks depending on the plant, but the best part is that the plant soaks up what water it needs. No more over watering or underwatering.
Sorry if I sound like a commercial, but I love em. There are ones that are specifically called 'The Violet pot' and others that do the same thing without being called that.
Good luck!
And kudzu is a must for any house or garden. If you haven't seen it around your area definaetly go to another state and important it to your area- your fellow townspeople will love you and shower you with rocks to show thier affection for this new plant.
