    How expensive are plants and their accessories? I know I might need specific soil, fertilizer(?) and obviously a pot, it seems like it could add up but I haven't actually figured out how much I'd spend.

    Also how did you choose a species? With so many kinds of plants, it seems like it'd be really hard to choose.

      Plants are cheap and easy, dirt is cheap (there's a reason for the phrase "dirt cheap"), and you don't really need fertilizer 99% of the time and if you do want to use some it's cheap too.

      Plants literally grow themselves, easiest shit in the world

      Most expensive part is the pots, if you go for pretty designs. You can propagate clippings from existing plants if you can find a donor. I like checking in on a living thing every day, it's nurturing

      Also, I looked up lists of easy to care for house plants and picked the ones that met my needs and looked neat
