If you could only pick 5 plants to do a tank what would they be?
Is there a plant your always looking for but its hard to come by in person?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Background
I was asked to share a booth at a reptile expo in my area and sell some plants from my collection / greenhouse. I have a wide assortment of plants but focus heavily on begonias, bromeliads, aquatic ephiphytes like buce anubias, hygrophila etc.
I'd love to bring a good assortment but definitely can't bring everything.
For the record I do this for the love of the game, not really trying to make money, I just really want to help support the community with obtaining quality plants and share my love for oddball plants.

Honestly pothos, snake plants, spider plants, bromeliads, and ferns would probably do well. Nothing too complicated that needs more specific care like an alocasia. You want things that are easy, do well in a variety of environments, and can withstand something potentially bulldozing it.
I can tell you two plants to not bring- peace lilies and crotons. Not reptile friendly plants. bring lots of things for groundcover as thats often needed!
Jewel orchids!
Mini bromeliads
And anything that stays small
Anything epiphytic
Ficus Quercifolia
Live Mosses
Neo fireball broms
Marcgravia roundleaf
Pyrrosia christii
Any chance youll be at the westchester reptile expo??
