I have used Weeping figs (Ficus benjamina), they seem to like the thin branches and sleep on the very ends of the plant.

it should be ok, just needs plenty of light to stop it dropping it's leaves.

Pothos is always a good plant for the vivarium.

Hard to kill, and grows fast.

Just depends if you like it Smile

I have also used bromeliads, and they seem to be doing well
