I want to keep a scorpion but i would also like to get some plants. What would be the best plants in temperatures around 85 and 75 and can live in really high humidity 70/80 percent and can take a beating from my scorpion?

For hardy and easy: there are different Pothos and Dracaena varieties. I've found Schefflera arboricola also works.
Sansevierias are great also, once they adjust. They cannot be buried when in very humid enclosures or they'll melt. Keeping them at the top of a hill or in their own pot in the substrate would be easiest.
You can also try aquarium plants like Anubias sp. I have some Anubias nana petite that keep getting uprooted and tossed around and are still alive.
Petco also sells a tropical plant that looks like grass that does great and looks like it could take a beating.

Disclaimer: I've never kept a tropical scorpion.

Pothos are in most of my enclosures just for the fact anyone can keep them alive. Ive also broken off parts and started new plants from my older setups. They are great looking for any tropical enclosure.

is there a specific type of pothos that you would recommend. And what about mosses do you know some that are relatively easy?

One thing about Pothos- grow fast require higher maintenance due to growth. So if you don’t want to trim plants don’t get it.
