I'm sure you are right. Tillandsia ionantha is on the list of bromeliads I purchased for that tank. I have a Ficus pumilia variety (repens, I think) that is nice, but also slow as molasses. A charming cover plant is one of the Hedera helix (ivy) varieties that was sold to me as "duck foot" ivy. It is a bit slow, too, but grows absolutely flat like a ground cover and the tiny leaves are delightful. (It may be the variety "digitata," but I'm not sure.)



I like the club mosses (Selaginella sp) too. I guess this favorites list could be endless. I tried Ceropegia woodii, thinking it would probably just rot off as it is somewhat succulent. To my surprise, it's twining all over the place. The wiry stems have little mottled heart-shaped leaves in pairs spaced about 1 or more inches apart, so it's very airy and delicate looking. The blooms are unusual and more interesting than showy.
