Pothos are something I'm used to, but are there any plants you've used that do well with medium humidity?

I just dont know enough about plants to have any idea. I assume tropical plants that are usually sold for vivariums are high humidity lovers.
I'll be using a mix of peat moss, coco fibre, organic soil, and some clay and stones as the substrate. It will be fairly moist, but not "sweating" humid.
I'd like it to be generally nontoxic even though i dont think itll matter too much for what im doing

thank you!!

What will the animal inhabitant of the tank be? That will be an important consideration

isopods that like dryer conditions than most. the area around the plants will probably be the moistest but i plan to only mist the rest lightly

It's going to be for isopods or with isopods? Also a very important thing too, which type of enclosure are you going to use?

thank you!!!
its going to be with isopods and plants considered equally, but im not focusing on breeding or anything.
I'm planning on using something like this with a good amount of soil and a drainage layer. ill be modifying it for for better ventilation; and access if i need to.

You are welcome!!

Nice style of enclosure too!! XD

Regarding to it, I'd add some springtails and earthworms too to keep the substrate healthy. They do an awesome job in conjunction to the isopods.

Are you interested in any special specie?

I will probably keep P muscorum inside, as they like to climb up and be a bit dryer sometimes, and i think theyll do really well :) i will definitely consider adding worms, i was going to use springtails already!

thank you so much!
