I was going to go with a spider plant and Dracaena plant that I can get at my home depot. I have jade plants but I heard they can be toxic so I've refrained from using them. I have a peperomia now and the begonias I had died. I have some lucky bamboo I've been growing. I was going to get some ivy but I can't find any solid lists about what there is native to here with out being a list of flimsy little flowers. Thank you both though, and that link was helpful. I'll see if I can I.D. anything in the woods around here that I can get locally.
