Bromeliads (Guzmania, Vrisea, Neoregelia, Achmea)
Dischidia (Ovata, bengeliansis)
Ferns (lemon button, maidenhair some others)
wondering jew
Ficus pumilia (many varieties available)
inch plant
mother inlaws tongue (for the phelsuma)
begonia sp
some orchids (depending on size) ludisia do well in vivariums
Some types of tropical cactus rhips???
Moss (java ricicia)

What size vivariums are you working with?
What kind of humidity levels do you have?
How much ventalation?
What kind of lighting do you have?


try to keep things in the same colour/patern/shape/size group.

Try to plant in groups of 2-3 of the same plant with maybe a larger plant as a main attraction..

could i put orchids in?? they look nice:D

[MJ]

yup Orchids can go in if your gonna mount the epyphitically then use wire t hold them onto a back ground or 10lb test fishing line to tie them to a branch with a small amount of long fibre sphagnum moss.

If your planting them make sure your substrate is well draining and just mist do not water as you would a normal potted orchid.
