Ya spider plants and most tropicals are easy to keep. I have a plam tree, not sure what kind and only have to water it like every 2 to 3 weeks.
African violets are pretty easy too, but they do like to be in a window. I have lots of vines too, not sure of names though sorry. Just go to your local garden store and they will ehlp you select some suited for your environment. Good luck.
