Aloe vera is another good one, havent killed it yet and it revives and turns green again, even if you forget to water it for a couple weeks and it was brown. :)

Mother-in-law's tongue, aka snake plant (Sansevieria) is another great, easy-care plant. Very little watering is required, and it tolerates lots of different light conditions.

Yeah steph12 - I have an aloe vera on my desk at work. It lived in my car for a month, and now I water it with the dregs from my tea every few days. It's thriving under these fluorescent lights.

I've killed many cacti :(

Sago palm can be killed. It is very simple. You hire a [insert epithet for ignorant country bumpkin here] landscaper and he (it's never a she, as the she's in the biz all have an education) buzz cuts your palm. Yes, it may survive this abuse. On the other hand, it might not. And this is how you kill your Sago palm.

Aloe vera is magical! It's not only hard to kill but it's amazing for stomach ulcers and die-hard coughs. Also, in some parts of Latin America it is said that it brings good luck. My husband's grandmother gave my mother-in-law a small plant. She has kept it behind the front door ever since. She just wrapped the root and a piece of charcoal in a piece of fabric. Apparently, the charcoal just soaks the humidity of the environment and that's enough care for this plant. Did I mention this particular plant is over 40 years old?

pretty much any dracaena does really well in low light and with minimal care (in fact it's easier to over-water these, than under-water). the only trick is to water them with distilled water if your water is fluoridated.

I guess I'm the only one who managed to kill my aloe vera... a neighbor gave it to me as a gift and I was very careful not to over or under water, but it turned brown and started to rot. I think maybe the pot wasn't draining or something, but still. Killed it. On the other hand I've managed to coax all of my herbs through the entire summer, so that's progress.

Most definitely Sansevieria. However, apparently some varieties need water in the winter and some need it in the summer. See when the plant puts up new leaves - that's when you should keep it watered and fed. It will grow (increase in size) much better if you give it water and sunlight during its growing season, but will survive without it.

i've offed an aloe too, kimmyt...i think it was the drainage that caused it.

I've had pretty good luck with philodendrons. I was told that they literally thrive on neglect and that's certainly been the case with mine. I do believe they're toxic to pets and children, so mine are on top of a bookshelf, about 3 feet away from a sheltered window that gets very indirect light.

I have killed a good portion of this list, including like 20 phalaenopsis.

The only thing that ever survived was a money tree. I recently killed herbs in a week. Literally. Sadface.
