What are your Favorite Live plants?

I have always been partial to Ficus because they are inexpensive here and easy to maintain.

What are your favorite live plants for your cages?

You are right Wendy, they do mention bonsai in the description.

FICUS BENJAMINA 'TOO LITTLE'
Miniature Ficus, very good for containers, indoor and for bonsai.
Ficus 'Too Little' is a miniature form of a big Ficus benjamina very often used in South Florida.
It will grow to about 5feet if planted in the ground but it can be kept much smaller if potted and with a little trimming.
It makes an excellent bonsai subject.
Ficus will grow well anywhere from full sun to shade but be aware that drastic changes in growing conditions can cause them to drop leaves.
Ficus perform well with warm temperatures even though they will survive temperatures near freezing for short periods of time.
Ficus are very popular indoor plants all over the world and the variety 'Too Little' is an excellent option for people with small spaces.
FAMILY : Moraceae
ORIGIN: spur from regular Ficus
SIZE : up to 5feet
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS : full sun to shade
WATER REQUIREMENTS : average
MIN. TEMP. : low 30°
FLOWERS : no

I believe Dracaena Massangeana is called both the cane plant and the corn plant.

One problem with the cane/corn plants though...no way to stop them from outgrowing your enclosure over time. they get big!!!
