skylark said: I think that tradescantia zebrina and common syngonium (not the pink ones) are fast and easy to grow.
Certainly easier then begonias. Most of mine even from rhizome grow quite slow and are easy to kill.
Also smaller philodendrons like heart leaved and Brazil are easy to propagate and hard to kill.
I am not sure, but are you selling the plants that yr buyers might use in their tanks? If so, then whatever is recommended for terrariums and vivariums makes sense.
dendroboard forums mention all sorts of creeping plants like Ficus pumila, Callisia repens, Pileas , etc anything small that requires high humidity.


Thanks! I'll check them out.

We do having some mini creepings figs that do well, and the new Galapagos Mossy Sticks will be perfect for them. Pileas I can see, and I should re-visit syngoniums.

Just picked up a great Crassula pellucida 'Variegata", Calico Kitten crassula today, I think it might do well.

Philodendrons I'm steering away from right now. Easy to grow and propagate but so very slow. For me at least.

Just bought more 20" plastic trays and greenhouse enclosures.

Those things are awesome.
I don't think I've posted any pictures, will try to tomorrow.

Plastic greenhouse tray probably 14x20" with a humidity dome guessing 16" tall with 2 1/2 circle ventilation openings at the top that can be fully open or closed or in-between.

Work great, they're my go-to for cuttings now.
