hmmmm...what plants and how many are in your litter box? In general litter boxes are not very deep (6" max?) and most root systems need more than that - but not all. The other concern about having a variety of plants in a single container is that their watering/moisture needs will vary. So if you have a small schefflera that does not like wet feet and a croton that will quickly wilt if too dry - well, you get the picture.
As for taking up all the floor space with plants not a bad idea unless your dripper is constantly dripping into your ficus or your box which will get saturated and then you have some dead plants (maybe) and a fungus gnat problem.
If you have thought this all thru and made adjustments for it all it sounds great!
