Tips for some easy indoor plants?
We have literally not a single plant in our apartment, and I'm sick of it! We need some green! But I have no idea what to start with.
FWIW we're in the far nordics near the arctic circle, so conditions in places like windows vary quite wildly throughout the year, from occasionaly hot and long summer days to cold and very short winter days.
Not really fuzzed about beautiful flowers, just leaves, vines, will keep us happy. Maybe succulents?
Would appreciate any advice :)

Seconding pothos and snake plants. I started with a single 4" pot of pothos a few years ago and through sticking cuttings in dirt I've got about 10 or 12 pots now. One of them extends across the windows in 3 rooms and is threatening to eat the entire downstairs.
Snake plants are apparently impossible to kill, even if you forget to water them for weeks.
If you eat avocados you can just start burying all the pits in a pot of dirt, keep it watered, and some of them will sprout. Or the next time you have a carrot or potato or onion start to sprout, bury is and you will have free greenery for a while.

Can confirm. I've seen them in overcrowded pots in a hallway, away from all but fluorescent lighting, not watered for months and months. I've also visited the tropics, where people stick them in beach sand in full sun to part shade, and they thrive!
In my experience you can kill snake plants by over watering them
Oof, not quite impossible to kill… I put mine on the balcony as it’s getting nice here, but after a couple 90 degree days noticed the leaves were getting a rough texture, not the normal smooth shiny texture. I brought it back indoors and it’s been a couple weeks but the texture hasn’t been restored. :S
