I'm not so sure if I would pass it. I would either love it or hate it.
I'm an introvert and those blend well, but I'm also someone whole *really* enjoys watering the plants everyday (and other chores), and I can't have someone doing a coupe. One of the great insights this years is that I stopped replacing cacti I kept killing and switched to swamp plants.

Re: Rogers Veraarts
Swamp plants are the best! I've got a pennywort that's 30 years old.
You might try orchids. They love a bit of daily misting, fussing with periodic fertilizer treatments, and moving around to modulate growth and flowering.

Re: Rogers Veraarts
30 years?? Wow! Is that the one of the "closed bottle" experiment?
Ah yes, indeed misting and moving around too, lol! ..and sometimes I mist the cats when they're fighting..
I think I'm not orchid level yet,.. maybe if the Sticky Finger survives. It's not an easy one, it self-destructs on touch.

It's living in an old goldfish bowl (about 4 liters). I do have a 20 year old nearly closed bottle experiment that has evolved the ability to digest styrofoam packing peanuts but that's a different story!
Orchids are actually tougher than they appear. Most are adapted to living on trees in the the rain forest which has a nasty mix of occasional drenching rain and then lots of very hot sun. They can tolerate both drought & swamp.

OMG! That's the beastie (magnified 1000X)
The bottle does contain a stable population of ostracods. And they do seem to nibble on the styrofoam (or whatever microscopic organism that's living on the styrofoam)
