My home is a place of natural selection for house plants. Occasionally someone gifts me a plant, most of them die within months. So far, spider plants are by far the best-adapted to the conditions in my home, they thrive.
I assume the big issue is that it's too dark, or that I don't water regularly enough. Apparently spider plants are particularly resistant to draught due to thick, water-retaining roots, grow relatively fast and easily grow offshoots.
Cacti would probably do well, too, but I don't want plants in my home that you can injure yourself with. It's also why I don't like roses.
In my experience the only way to kill a spider plant is to water it every day
Tell that to the couple dozen propagations I have currently living in various sized vessels of water
They wither eventually if you never water them, too.
My experience with banana plants.
