They may actually be wax plants. But don't they do the same thing. I literally can't tell the difference in between waxes and pothos

Tons of them

Oh wow!!!! Would he let you have some of those? You wouldn't need to buy any plants from the store if so. It looks like those are all pothos.

You need something up high. You could get a weeping fig for that or you could do something similar to what I do which is use coroplast plastic sheets from Home Depot, and wrap 3 sides of my enclosure with it. Thats strong enough to attach sticks and pots to. Then I just attach everything with zip ties. I'll share some photos so you can see. Its a pretty cheap option

Coroplast sheet - $30
Plastic pots - $1.50 each (i use the double pot method so I attach an empty pot to the enclosure, then put a potted plant in the attached pot)
screws to attach coroplast OR command strips - $10
Zip ties - $5
Dirt for plants - $10

I'll attach some of my enclosures so you can get an idea of what i'm talking about

Awesome! Once you have that tree in there you can use some of those Pothos vines to wrap around branches etc. to provide more coverage.

Sure but I don't know when my parents will buy it. (We're a little tight on money right now.)

The calcium will be in tomorrow. I have her roaches gutloading at the moment. I bought the calcium in the first picture, but I had the calcium in the second is there any difference?

Totally understand that. I have an idea on what you could do in the meantime. Check out this video from Neptune. You could get branches for free outside (thats what I do), wash them in your bath tub with soap and hot water. Rinse them off really well and let them dry in the sun. If you use this method in the video I shared you should be able to attach some pots up higher and give your baby coverage without spending any money.
