I am looking for a list of tropical plants for my Redfoots outdoor enclosure.

First she needs more plant in her current enclosure, but I am having trouble finding once that work and are available in our climate. We live in central FL.
The area is in partial shade.

Next the area next to her enclosure will eventually be part of her space. So i want to start planting stuff there so it will be a pretty garden area and ready for her when she gets bigger.

What are some tortoise friendly plants for a fl climate.
thanks :)

banana plants (edible), tropical hibiscus (edible), Aloe (edible), Prickly Pear cactus (edible), guava & mango & papaya trees (fruits all edible, rest safe), staghorn fern (flowers edible), Australian fern tree (safe), prayer plant (safe), bird's nest fern (safe), most all palms are safe. You can google safe and poisonous tortoise plants, you will get mixed results (some lists conflict), but use your best judgment, or if unsure post here.

and let the dandelion weeds run wild ;)
