Green Fingers

I've just bought myself some indoor plants - a spider plant, a syngonium and a chinese evergreen.  All of them, apparently, are easy to maintain and don't require a lot of light - which is good because at least 2 of them are going in my living room which tends to be quite dark.  Let's see how long it takes me to kill them!  I already don't fancy the chances of the spider plant - I don't think I got it in good condition.   I do not have a good record when it comes to plants - I'm the kind of person who is able to kill a cactus.  Though most of the succulents I ordered about 4 months ago are still hanging on, so maybe I've turned a corner.
