Hi folks,

I'd like to add some good plants to my set up. My hatchling hermann is a 30G vivarium at the moment.

What types of plants can I add for both aesthetic purposes and safe consumption? I was thinking of using the little wee plants you buy in the tiny clay pots.

thanks

Hens and chickens, Sedums, stone plants and Kalanchoe would be fine. :D
