Need small plant ideas

[OldChamKeeper]

I picked up a Dragon Strand breeders series cage recently and have now mounted a number of small pots for holding plants. My question is what to put in them.

I'm looking for vines, maybe ivy types. I'd like some small ferns or other leafy types for coverage. I have plenty of perches and branches to where these plants will not be a main thing the chams have to walk on or use. The pots are small, 4" diameter by 6 deep.

The plants will need to tolerate daily beatings by my mist king and a morning fogger.

Suggestions? Pictures would be helpful too.

for vines i'm sure you already know of pothos, could also use wandering jew for some other colour. for filling in can use baby tears, zebra plants camt think of others right now. for decor can think about maybe even throwing in a small bromeliad?

and not for pots but neat little plants air air plants need no soil but can be mounted and what not possibilities are nearly endless

I raise some tiny umbrella plants and very small ficus trees. You may have heard that I had baby quads not long ago. I used these type of things in the cages. I put a dowel across the top of the cage and threaded a wire to hold the pots where I wanted them. If you need some baby umbrella, I still have several left over. The are around 11 to 13 inches tall. Currently they are in a 4" pot. Just let me know. I also use a vine called vinca. It has very small stems, and goes everywhere. You can get those at any nursery.

spider plants will survive a small pot for a long time. If they get a too leggy, rip it out and replace with one of its own babies.

LLLReptile has a bunch of small plants for sale. I've bought from them and they arrived at my door in perfect condition!

Thanks folks. I've dealt with plants plenty of times but felt maybe actually asking for advice from other cham keepers would yield some new ideas and it did.
