Gina1960 said:For the small one you could put something cool like a small piece of driftwood and a Chirita or Episcea and maybe a vining hoya like curtisii, a small fern that will stay small and something like cryptanthus bromeliads. You can do a backing with something like coir matting, tree fern bark or cork to allow vining plants to climb, or if you want to keep it clear and wide open skip that. Creepers that you can readily trim like the cool purple and silver trandeschantia would work too

Do you think a hoya would actually work in conditions like that? I've always wanted to try a hoya, but usually have to pass them up because they need higher light... or so I thought. I have tons of tradescantia zebrina, so that's a good idea! I'd love to try something new like an Episcia, too. My local nursery sells 2-4 inch houseplants for 2-3 dollars in bulk! I'd actually really love to get a mini phalenopsis orchid in there if I could. I think it'd look so cool, but I'm once again unsure if my lighting is enough.
