sansevieria plants are super low maintenance and tolerate terrible abuse. They come in many varieties.

They're also on the NASA list of air cleaning plants.

Plants are not pets, you'd be getting into gardening. I'd suggest a Venus fly trap. Feed it little bit of hamburger from time to time, water it, put a nutrient stick in the soil.

Lucky bamboo, spider plant, and peace lily are also some very hardy houseplants.
A small fish tank with just plants could work for you as well, and give you some freedom to "landscape."
If you want grass specifically, look for oat grass seed on eBay. Ir doesn't last very long, though. If you want something that lasts longer you can get some monkey/mondo grass. It's usually pretty easy to find at pet stores in the aquarium section, and you can just keep it in a pot on the windowsill with some gravel, same as lucky bamboo. Grows too slow to trim, though.
The lowest maintenance animals I can think of are snakes and bugs, like hissing roaches. Or snails (aquatic or terrestrial). Pet snails are actually pretty comfy.

Lucky Bamboo is fucking invincible

I got one from a family member and take absolute shit care of it and it's lasted eight years so far.

Peanut Cactus. Well-behaved, easy to train, gets along well with children.

Get a cat. They are low maintenance as fuck

>>2283183
gross, no

Hamburger is a risky choice, as it will often not be completely dissolved and make the trap rot. I'm not saying you can't use it, but the occasional bug is just as easy.

Also, they aren't that low maintenance. You have to keep that moist-not-wet balance.

Take a tuft of grass from a lawn somewhere.

But more interesting, low maintenance plants are: Aloe. Almost impossible to kill. But also a bit boring since it will prolly never need pruning.

You could also go for Crassula. They can be kept in many different forms, don't need really need repotting, will grow in both direct and indirect light (some Aloes don't take well to too much sun).
I have a Crassula I've kept for two years now. I just keep it with two "legs" upright. Tiny and neat

what about high-maintenance but highly forgiving thing?
1. Look into aquarium landscaping with water plants only
- art, impossible to judge hobby with positive stimuli to get good
- oxygen (and calming bubble sounds if you choose cheeper air pump) in your living/sleeping room
- makes a dark winter room really comfortable
- upgradable to shrimp and beyond
tank thread has nice links on this
2. Hydroponics: hot peppers for example. Nerdy rip off, fun. Some of the things would need to be cross-pollinated by you with a cotton bud to get fruits.
3. Onions, spear mint, dill, you name it. A growing lamp and a long box. The cheapest and the most practical of all three but the downside is it's unsightly and sometimes stinks.

Nice advice, faggot.

OP, a tarantula can be a nice choice if you don't mind arthropods

>>2283012
You can't touch the insect or food when you feed the Venus fly trap, also don't touch the plant. The oils from our hands can kill certain breeds of Venus fly trap.

Get a Chia Pet

Do you know why they catch bugs, right?

Ok I'll tell you, it's because they live in nutrient depleted soil. If you put a nutrient stick in the soil it will kill the plant.

Don't proliferate bum advice, cunt

Rabbit. even the initial cost is low.

This is almost as stupid as the one WHO said you should give it a nutrient stick...

They are pretty hardy.
Kill cause nb 1) Not using soft Water
Kill cause nb 2) Over watering
Kill cause nb 3) He doesn't cut the flower off

Aloe vera thrives on neglect once you put them in the right place, lots of indirect sunlight, I've put mine on the edge of the window sill and put a plastic translucent sheet between it and the window, haven't watered it in months.

Kalanchoe is hard to kill, it will live in a large pot after months without watering but it will look crappy. The flowers are long lasting, but will only appear if it gets constant bright lights and fertilizer with every watering around once a week.

For an actual animal, consider a beetle, there are lime size big and pricey ones like a Rhinoceros Beetle or a Stag Beetle (popular in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) you can probably get through the mail as an egg or larvae form.

Or you can buy meal worms from a pet store and raise them on oatmeal till they grow into grain beetles, about the size of a fingernail - my brother kept some as pets.

My bad, I only heard the info from a plant guy I bought it off.

>>2283003
You can't go wrong with a pet rock.

>>2284435
He can't be a very succesful plant guy

I for one filled a prestxel container with gravel and water and them introduced some verbal pool invertebrates(i.e. Snail,water fleas,copepods) into it and I have now had the most low maintenance pets I've ever had

Definitely Betta fish, all they need is feeding once a day, and start up costs are like $20.

If you're going to do that you might as well go for superworms (morio worms). Pic related is the morio beetle. They're about 1.5-2" long or so.
