I use all kinds of plants, mainly ficus, weeping figs, rubber plants, palms, and a few others but I honestly can't remember there names. I look for a few things in a plant for my terrarium. I check for strong trunk support and sturdy limbs, color, and size. Some are used for shade and some are used for supports. I also incorporate large pieces of treated wood to help support the more delicate plants. I use professional grow lights which produce UVB as a added benefit. As far as soil goes I use an all organic brand (no chemicals)and sift out any big chunks. Also if your thinking of creating a natural set up make sure to wash your plants thoroughly and remove as much of the soil from the plant roots as possible (the white Styrofoam is a choking hazard). Good luck
