I need your favorite “goth” plants! Begonias are probably going to be common but I got these so far. Looking for plants that are mainly; red, black, or ghastly looking
I’m not sure how well they do in terrariums but I think my “Black Velvet” *Alocasia reginula* is my most goth plant. Internet says it would work but they aren’t tiny plants. *Hoya carnosa* “Crispa” or “Hindu Rope” might do well if mounted and has a very creepy look to it and is a deep dark green.

Peperomia Luna Red (Luna Grey was disappointingly also red in my experience)

Begonias can work but not in a sealed jar, humidity would ruin them.
Check out the purple oxalis. Oxalis triangularis
begonia-maculata
I’ve never seen anyone try having coleus in a terrarium (I’m suspecting they might grow a bit too fast), but with some good lighting there are a few kinds that will look perfectly gothic!

And these are just the ones I remembered off the top of my head, I’m certain there are more!
Some varieties of Fittonia have dark green leaves with red veins.
