The answer you're after is: "many"
- mcv 9y agoBut who would buy a plant like that? I get liking plants, but I don't want their maintenance to be yet another painful chore. I want plants that survive no matter what I do. Fortunately, my plants seem to select themselves based on that criterium.

- scandinavegan 9y agoI have an uncle who waters all his plants every Saturday. Those who survive stay, those who die are tossed. Survival of the fittest in action.
- hrktb 9y agoIf you have this line of thinking I think you’ll already be looking at a watering system, or even simple pots with a water reserve. Your needs for friends looking after your plants will already be minimal, and be reduced to asking them to fill the tanks once every three or four weeks. For me people who need to educate friends about how to deal with their plants are playing on a different field, in a different game altogether (and I’ll flat refuse to deal with kind of PITA)
- UntitledNo4 9y agoPeople who _really_ like plants? I am one, and I wouldn't even call myself a hobbyist, just a person who likes plants a lot and doesn't mind having a routine of caring for plants, it's not like it's very difficult: all plants are watered on the weekend, a few are watered once more during the week. Yes, it also involves knowing how much water, but it's pretty much the same all year round (unless there are a few exceptionally hot days in a row during summer, then a bit more).
- mcv 9y agoI have a toddler who loves watering plants. I have no real control over how much water they get.
- UntitledNo4 9y agoWhy not get plants that love water? Papyrus is one that comes to mind...
- mcv 9y agoThey will die as soon as the toddler loses interest.
