Both plants can tolerate most light conditions and can be placed deep into a room, away from windows. The more light they get, the faster they will grow. However, avoid direct sunlight (especially outdoors) as this would scorch their leaves.

Both plants like their entire soil to dry out completely between waterings. To check if your beginner set is ready to be watered, stick your finger into the soil of each plant as deeply as possible. If you feel ANY moisture, at all, then wait longer! If it feels completely dry, then it's time to rewater your plants: Slowly water the soil so that it's completely saturated - you'll know it's fully saturated when water drips out of the drainage holes on the bottom of the nursery pot.

To be extra-sure, you can also stick your finger through the bottom of the drainage holes underneath its nursery pot, to feel for moisture.

Remember, the more light your plant gets, the more you'll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.

Tip: When checking your soil for moisture, make sure to test different parts of the soil, in case you come across a wet pocket.

Difficulty: Near-unkillable

Great for beginners. As long as they sit in a room with a window aren't aren't watered too often, this duo will remain by your side for years.
