I'm usually no good when it comes to plants, they die or the earth starts to get mouldy...

I have a Ficus & Rubber Tree inside. They are nice 'floor plants - get taller. There's also the Schefflera (or Umbrella tree).
Some nice Tropical-like plants are Philodendrons (Fiddleleaf, Common, Split leaf, etc).
I have a couple of Mother-in-Law-Tongues (or Sword or Snake plant). They grow like upright stalks & mulitply.
The Peace Lily (or Closet Plant) is one of my faves. Very nice green plant that gets a bloom.
I also have some Aloe Vera and Cactus like the Pencil Cactus.
Kolanchoes are nice & one of the easiest I've found. They come in many colors & usually bloom quite often. They're easy to multiply.
I stick sprigs of ivy, including English & bigger leaf, in with my 'bigger' plants.
Also the 'Lucky Bamboo' (Dracaena sanderiana)!! I have these in almost every room - with or without windows. You can put a single one or group a few together. You can put them in sandy or well-drained loose soil but I have the best luck using marbles, gravel, or pebbles. Put them in a pot, vase, glass, mug, etc - Very easy just need water & change it like once a week. Some say bottled water b/c they need clean, pure water (not alot of fluoride, chlorine, or salt). These are super neat!!
Good Luck!!

Palms or ferns are good. Just pick off the mouldy soil and top dress with fresh compost. You can get nice ones in B & Q, Homebase any place like that or a nursery of course.

Aloe plants. I had a cutting off my cousins last year and it hardlt takes any looking after. Also useful to have if you get burnt, you can pull a leaf off and use the juice to sooth the burn. Never had to use it yet but have heard that it is fantastic. Mine is growing really nicely and have never had a problem with the soil.

Your're precise with regard to the HPS. A flourescent hood with one cool bulb and one heat bulb is an incredible decision and is fee-effective besides. I did a study venture in college and this set-up became equivalent or in easy terms a splash no longer so good via fact the HPS or metallic Halide techniques. you will get the finished spectrum of light! One tip: enable the seeds to germinate interior the darkness and as quickly as they sprout, shop the mild one inch above the flora so they do no longer grow to be "leggy". good luck!

I have Lucky Bamboo in my house because they are easy to care for and are said to bring good luck. All they require is watering and they sit in rocks instead of soil so there is no problem of moldy soil. They also don't require a lot of sunlight.

Aspidistras are fail proof. That's why the Victorians had them in their homes. They don't need much light or attention.
