Good day fellow cheapies! I would like to get your opinions and/or suggestions regarding house plants. I am planning to gift my wife an indoor plant this coming Feb 14. Would like to see recommendations if you have any. I think it's better than buying bouquet of flowers that will wilt in a few days.

Peace lily and ZZ are pretty hard to kill and look nice once they get big. I’ve got both in my office and at home.

There are a lot of different houseplants to choose from.
Before rushing out to buy something though I would think about where you want to put it.
Houseplants generally require bright, indirect light (such as through a window) rather than dimly lit corners so think location first and then pick something that fits.
A lot of them also like a bit of humidity but dislike draft so avoid near opening doors.
Also, do you like flowers or foliage or both?Examples could include things like a moth orchid, peace lily, flamingo flower, monstera, philodendron,chain of hearts

Whatever you get, do not get a fiddle-leaf fig plant. They are the worst plant for newbies as they stress over everything - new location, too sunny, not enough sun, too hot, too cold, the list goes on.

These do well indoors with a couple of hours of direct sunlight in spring /summer. Not necessary in winter as they go dormant- 0
