Yes, I also rooted a ZZ plant, and now have two ZZ plants instead of one! It rooted easily, which is unusual for me. I have a Bonnie that doesn't have much curl at all. Its in an area where it gets good light, but no sun in summer, but a little afternoon sun in fall and winter. Doesn't seem to matter--it stays the same regardless of the amount of light. Also, I forget to water it sometimes for two weeks (its in a 4" pot) and that doesn't affect the curl either. So I guess I'm stuck with a mostly uncurly Bonnie! Its still cute.
As for orchids, I had my go round with them. I had all kinds, and it was getting ridiculously expensive. I think orchids cost more than just about any other houseplant I can think of. I grew phals, oncidiums, miltonias, paphs, cattleyas, brassias, phrags (I can't remember them all) and crosses of these. I re-bloomed quite a few, and got blooms off some that I'd gotten as pretty small babies, that hadn't bloomed before. But that was only twice! Most of the others eventually died. I had some for many years with no blooms. I still have ten left, and only about four of those bloom for me. Phals, especially, are fussy. They are either blooming their little heads off for you, or sulking. And when they sulk, they REALLY sulk! They can sit there for months, doing absolutely nothing, and certainly not growing. And if you water them too often JUST ONCE they can keel over and die on you in a heartbeat. They rot super easy. When my last one died, I gave up on them. The cattleya and their crosses are a lot tougher, and can take quite a bit of sun. But, on the whole, I found myself just throwing money down the drain with orchids. I have a psychopsis papilio (look them up--they're fascinating) that bloomed for me many times, but hasn't bloomed once in the last 6-7 years. I've probably had it for ten years. No idea why it just stopped blooming, as I haven't changed its care.
I never realized there were solid green Bonnies. I've only seen the larger solid green spiders. And I agree spiders are easy to care for. I often forget to water my big hanging one for a month, and it still looks great and is sending out pups.
