Thread: Easy plants to take care of?

    Yes, I also agree that lillies are the easiest to grow and need not much care.Roses need much more care.

    You know it just depends on where you live. 300 miles south of me, cactus are frequently seen popping up in people's yards, but there are very few cactus that would grow in my yard.

    I have never grown lillies, but I have grown gladiolas and irises which are similar. My only problem with them is the blooms are too short lived. They are so pretty.

    We has white and red rose plants and it so happened that red rose plants need more maintainance rather than the white roses. We brought pink roses which didn't stay longer either. But, we tried removing off the white roses but it had just the roots remaining and the plant grew back on its own just by watering.

    Even I do agree with you mbtaluka.It really depends upon the region where you reside.Sometimes it really becomes easy to grow roses while it really becomes hard to grow some simple plants.

    I have to agree, roses are quite easy, liliacs are my favourite, I have quite a few bushes as I love the smell they let off come spring time.

    It could be the soil in the exact area of the planting and it could be the climate at the time of planting. If a plant takes root well, establishes itself well, immediately, it will require little care. If I happen to plant something and we get some good spring rains with no frost, I'm lucky, and my plant is happy.

    I never do a thing with my red rose bushes except cut them back when they start to take over. Two years ago, we had a very late spring freeze that killed many of my flowers and trees. I thought my roses were gone, but this year they miraculously sprung back up as new plants near the old ones. They just don't give up.

    This is pretty helpful for me since I sort of asked this in my "growing in an apt" thread. I'd love to know what are some low maintenance vegetable plants to save money!

    If I were going to do veggies in a window, I would do lettuce, herbs, and onions. If you have the height necessary for a tall plant, you could try tomatoes or peppers. If you really wanted to get creative you could do carrots (a root veggie). You would have to stay away from anything too tall like corn, or vines like cucumbers. You could grow potatoes in a large pot on a balcony, but potatoes require a lot of digging, so I think they are a lot of work.

    Me too. But, I don't currently have lilac. I need to buy one. I have a perfect spot for it. I just spend too much money this time of year.

    Default easy plants

    Spider plants are hard to kill. They can survive you forgetting to water them occasionally and they can adapt to various levels of light. They clean the air well too.
