What sorts of plants/flowers can remain surrounded by pots for years?

I live in an apartment and would like to buy something gorgeous but pot-friendly. Any ideas would be great, thanks!

Answers:    These three are extremely trouble-free to care for and will last for years surrounded by a pot:

Spathiphyllum (peace lily)

Sansevieria

Philodendron http://www.evergrowing.com/tips/philoden...
Pothos (AKA: philodendron, devil's ivy) is a beautiful vine with variegated, heart-shaped leaves. I hold a pothos that has been potted for more than ten years. It with the sole purpose needs to be watered (soaked) once a week, fertilized lightly (once every three months) and re-potted/divided as obligatory (years). In sunny spots it will grow vigorously, but it grows great in low desk light. Mine's been hanging (from a macrame' sling, for heaven's sake), but they grow great up a topiary pole, too.
