I am not all too knowledgeable about plants and wanted to try my hands with planting seeds and growing them indoors!

For a bit more Context, the plant pots themselves have a Water reservoir underneath and will be Wall Mounted directly over a heat producing TV. While the room itself is quite light flooded, the spot where I'll put them won't get any direct sunlight, though still plenty of general light.

I should also note that since I haven't had the best track record with plants, its best if the plants themselves are resilient for over or underwatering at times.

I also recon a hang plant would look the best, but im open for any recommendations from you folks! Thank you!

Depends on where you are putting these, and where the light source is. If they are going to be alongside a south facing window or you plan to use grow lights, you could get some higher light plants like succulents, and herbs but that also is a pretty deep pot and succulent and cacti don’t have large root wads, so they could get overwatered easily.

I would say for bright indirect light a combination of heart leaf philodendron varieties like brasil, neon, micans look great cascading down the wall, scindapsis (also called satin pothos but isn’t has a lovely texture). Also pothos others mentioned but I like the form of the others better. Not sure how high above the tv these would be but they would have to be pruned back or they would cover the tv, also up higher on the wall generally you have less light unless you have skylights or floor to ceiling windows. Spider plants wouldn’t get super long but would drape over, you could also look at tradescantia varieties they can tolerate a little lower light.

You would buy these as plants not typically seeds. You can find pretty grown out plants at big box stores but even better check out your local nursery or plant shop.
