Perhaps some airplants aka bromeliads might do it for you. They like humid environments for some species. Or you could try the tree ferns like maidenhair fern. A visit to a plant farm might have what you require.




Hey guys, I have this setup running for quite a while already. It's base is ada substrate with some powersand and peat granule and top up with fine river sand. It had a gradual slope with one end reaching almost to the top of the water level. Oh, the tank is only filled up with water up to half level.
Not sure what set up you guys will call it. But my intention is to keep crypt in it. I have it covered up 'totally' and there're water condensation at the top side of the glass. The purpose is to maintain the humidity within. In this setup, I can observe the differences in growth of the crypt in submersed and emersed form.
However, it's just too mundane to just grow crypt in it. I am thinking of some fern or plants which could be tied to the branches or fix some greenery at the corners or sides of the tank. Any idea what type of plants are suitable for this intention? Also, where can I get them?
Quick shot using my handphone.
