Plants used in vivarium

I need help with the plants, can you please list all the plants that you used in a terrarium. What specific bromelaid, orchids, and ferns and moss do you guys use?

I have some pictures of a few of those I use in the photo gallery under cages and terrariums. Look for "slaytonp." None of the bromeliads are there, nor are all of my plants, but each one in the gallery does well in terrariums.

I would use pillow moss for the substrate. It holds up and looks better than all teh rest. As for plants anything you can get taht grows in tropical areas will do good. Be careful of some orchids though as they need a cooling off and drying out period to be successful and grow. You can see a PIC of some of the plants and pillow moss on my web site below. Another really good source for plants suitable for terrarium use is peaceofthetropics.com. Thanks
