For outdoors, sedum and many ornamental grasses are tough. They handle dry periods better than thirsty annual flowers. Choose plants that match your habits, not your fantasy garden self.

Pothos is very forgiving and grows fast enough that you feel successful. When the leaves droop, water it. It is not picky and it looks good hanging or on a shelf.

Snake plant is the classic for a reason. Mine survived neglect, low light and inconsistent watering. The biggest danger is actually overwatering it.
