A confession. I was living in Sheffield at the time and was packing up my flat ready for a move back to Berkshire. My brothers were "helping" and things got a bit chaotic, with items stuck into any available space in the van. When we got back some things had to go into temporary storage while the new house was decorated. I moved items back over time, but it was three months later when I unpacked my spin dryer (only because the washing machine had stopped working). And inside I found - a pot plant (Devil's Ivy/Scindapsus). Still alive despite being in the dark and not being watered all that time.
Living in Devon now and the plant is still with me.
So maybe you could give Devil's Ivy a try, Hero.
