Looking for plant advice for my first time paludarium build.
Converted a cracked fish tank into a vertical one with space for plants.
Inhabitants will be shrimp, hillstream loaches and maybe green tetras or chili rasbora.
1) The asparagus fern (I think that's what it's called) doesn't have to stay.
2) Something that can out tank, pothos maybe?
3) A plant that doesn't mind its roots being in water and can get water splashed on it.
4) A plant with long roots that can cover the pipe.
5) Something that can "creep" to hide some the silicone.
6) Possibly an underwater plant or similar to 3. Maybe a lilly.
This has been so frustrating but rewarding, with so many mistakes and learning. Basically using plants to cover up things I could have done better š

Creeping Jenny can creep!
This looks soooo good!!! I canāt really give plant advice as Iām still learning and yet to actually build my first paludarium (have a few aquariums and 20+ terrariums). Iāve seen a lot of folks use silicone and coco? fiber and or sphagnum moss to cover hard scape mishaps. Oh, creeping fig is fantastic terrarium plant that would grow well above the waterline in a humid environment and if you use several āvinesā? It will cover a lot of ground (vertical or horizontal).
