Zz and snake plants are also very forgiving and would do well in the light conditions you describe. Snake plants grow as straight upright blades. Zz plants grow in more of fanning structure.

A mix of pathos and zz plants could be pretty nice having both semi upright and trailing foliage but could look a little on the messy side.

Make a little succulent garden or even an herb garden: Herbs are easy to grow and can replenish themselves as you use them!

Don't hesitate to plant a variety. You may find success with some and not with others. In addition to pothos, you might try spider plants or small ferns. If you have a local nursery, speak with someone who works there and see what else they recommend. Make sure you use an indoor potting mix, and fertilize occasionally with a liquid fertilizer per the instructions on the container. Hold off on fertilizing at first after transplanting.

Since you are new to plants, you will probably be better off skipping the seeds and starting with a full plant instead...seeds tend to be more difficult to grow successfully into plants and it may be frustrating for a first timer!

A pothos could be a good choice, they're cheap, they tolerate very low light and can thrive on neglect (and if you're on a budget can be easily propagated, which is always fun)
