If you want to try something other than 'hen & chicks', you can give Love Palms a go.

I use Love Palms for my arboreals, never had any difficulties getting it to grow, and the Ts seem content with the height and webbing possibilities they have.

Plants like Echeveria tend to rot very easily, even in a dry enclosure, an alternative would be to get low light plants at the nursery.

I'll have a look at some low-light plants when I swing past the nursery again.

A quick question: My P. fasciata isn't webbing like I've seen others do, she generally stays on the ground and doesn't make any webs, except for the dirt pocket she built just before she molted. Is this normal?

She's about 4cm big ATM.

Rob.C uses Golden Pothos in his vivarium's, and today I went looking for hen and chick, but was asking for the plants Rob.C used in his video on youtube, and then saw a plant that looked almost the same, that will survive in a vivarium with limited light, and get's it's recommended fertilizer through fertilizer sticks. So I was near Menlyn and popped into Plantland. The plants I bought was Hen and chick and Scindapsus marble Queen. MMmmm so I googled the name and would you believe it Scindapsus is Pothos :) So if any one is looking for Golden Pothos, rather ask your nursery for Scindapsus marble queen, for fertilizer get the "GRO-STIX 5:1:5 (22)" Foliage Plant food / Lower Plant voedsel. The Sticks cost R24,99 and could be inserted into the root system every 2 months. The Scindapsus Marble Queen 12cm "Heigh" but flourishing like ivy cost me R36.99 per plant. Please people don't go and buy all those plants at Menlyn as I now will return for the rest. Been proved and used by Rob.C to be tarantula safe, and flourishes in vivariums, with minimal light.

Here is a link for all to see, will be adding the photo's of the plants and sticks. www.denverplants.com/foliage/html/MQueen.htm
