Pam and I visit people and see their dead plants in the pots.
We refer to them "Did you check out the lovely dried arrangements"

When I used to kill houseplants on a regular basis, I would chop them into little bits, put the bits in a bowl and tell people it was exotic potpourri.
Fooled no one.

Bromeliads, man, bromeliads. I have a black thumb too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Spider plant. People who know more about this sort of thing than I do swear that these are virtually idiot-proof. Very forgiving if you neglect them for a bit, they do well in pots or on hangers, and aren't picky about sunlight.
Good luck.
