im sure you can find bio vine and things of that store.

then schefflera, ficuses are what i use in my enclosures....probably best to stick to those, there is a safe plants list on the forums. stick to those and you should be good, i don't think there are any native madagascar plants available for sale in the US. *if there is im unawar as to what they are*

I use wild gathered madrone branches- it is a safe wood that is very hard and rot resistant with red color and one light layer of papery bark that comes off easily. It is related to manzanita. You can order nice natural branches like this from various bird supply places. If you are near the Pacific northwest, you can gather madrone. Mopani wood is another one that isn't bad but can be hard to clean.

Mopani wood (commonly used in aquariums and quite heavy):

I too use a lot of arbutus (aka madrone). I also use corkscrew filbert (contorted hazel). both grow in my back yard. both look great.
