I'm looking for suggestions for plants that are incredibly hard to kill, and most of the lists I'm finding include several plants I've killed more than once, so I'd like to try something else before I give up and resort to fake plants. (Also I really like plants and feel awful every time one dies.)

On the lists of 'difficult to kill' that I've killed many times: Spider plants, aloes, jade plants, arrowhead plants, boston ferns, basically any sort of succulent. I think my problem is that I overwater, but when I try to let things dry out more between waterings they die anyway.

I currently have a very happy philodendron, orchid, and coleus. And a bamboo that's recovering from some cat pruning surprisingly well.
