I had a fern but didn't water it enough and although i've revived it once I'm wondering what i should be looking for a cheap and cheerful plant? small with lots of leaves would be good...
Ground Elder?

No watering required.
Succulents or spider plants
Japanese Peace Lily.
Hard to kill. 8)
A Trifid
Near a window? Then a small leaf money plant will be perfect. does not in any way need much water, and will grow quite slowly.
dirtbike you can have mine! my Boss passed it onto me two years ago or so, I have no idea what it is.
Been trying to kill it ever since, its been living entirely on cold tea and coffee for over a year!

Whenever I get pissed off at work, I take it out on the plant and pluck off the odd leaf or two.
Its been having a hard time recently 😉
Sorry, to answer your question, what about a small bamboo?
