Terrarium Plants

[Desert Rose]

Ok, I am wanting to make a naturalistic planted cage for my Chilean rose.

I'm still in the process of compiling some plants that would be attractive, non-toxic***, have minimal light requirments, and resistant to being webbed over completley. (He doesn't web too much.)

So far I have: some common ferns, sanseverias, and aloes. Any specific species names or info would be helpful. The substrate is about 6 inches of potting soil with about 60 % humidity.

***Even though the tarantula eats crix, the crix could eat toxic plants and then poison the taratula.

Please feel free to comment.

ferns might need too much water and therefore dampen the substrate enough that it would bother the T... aloe might be a really good choice though. Jade as well, but I'm not entirely sure that it's non toxic.
