Showerthought: My best friend's plant gift totally backfired last Friday

She gave me a 'low light' fern for my apartment, but it started dropping leaves within 48 hours because my place is basically a cave. What's a truly unkillable plant for a room with one north-facing window?

Man, my buddy's snake plant survived a month in his moving truck!

Come on, a north window is plenty! Ferns are drama queens. You probably just overwatered it right away, everyone does that. Try a snake plant, those things are bulletproof. They'll grow in a closet if you let them. What did your watering schedule look like?

OMG @troyreed is so right about snake plants. My mom forgot about one in her basement for like TWO months, no water no light, and it was fine. Ferns are total drama queens, I killed three before giving up.
