Plant one looks like a scindapsus it’s kind of like pothos, the second plant looks like either a begonia or a peperomia, the third plant is a philodendron micans which also grows like a pothos. These plants don’t need much water they are prone to root rot if they are overwatered.

@@TheDarkDen No. 2 is definitely some kind of cane begonia. If you like begonias in your enclosures, you need to check out begonia amphioxus. It’s one of the cutest plants for any high humidity environment, imo. The price really came down the last few years, so you should easily find one for under 10€. 😊

I'm sure someone has probably helped with the plant names but if not I wanted to at least try. I want to say plant 1 looks like rhaphidophora decursiva, that or possibly a type of monstera. Plant 2 is a peperomia but I just don't know the exact kind within that species of plant. Plant 3 is a philodendron micans. The peperomia likes to dry out before watering again but are very capable of living in a nice humid environment. They all practically thrive on it. Plants 1 & 2 will both vine and if conditions are good, their leaves will get enormous. The first if it is either of the two mentioned will also fenstrate. I am a houseplant person and if you ever need or want help, I'm always willing to try. Love your videos and look forward to future updates on your terrariums. 💚

Couple of ideas, the volcanic rock could be used for your assassin beetles as the colours would look good together. You should change the sand of 1 of your 6 eyed sand spiders to the black Icelandic sand as that would be really cool and the colours would pop especially if you did slow mo feeding clip

I don't think I've seen one on your channel before but it'd be a great species to do a funky lava/hawaii-esque tropical with volcanoes enclosure would be an OBT! Bright orange and funky iridescent blue-green bits on the bottoms of their feets would look really nice with the lava rock and some fun tropical greenery!

The third plant looks like a Philodendron Micans, and the first one also looks like a type of Philodendron (perhaps Scandens?). They're considered poisonous to use in a vivarium, but perhaps that isn't a problem for spiders?

I have to say that your enclosures are amazing, you have a great talent for making them look natural. The one with the piece of wood for the background is absolutely stunning, you could sell your own line of pre decorated enclosures! The feeling of a shelf complete is a fantastic feeling, I really enjoy watching you decorate the enclosures, I think we need to see that! You have the Harry Potter enclosure now I would love to see the Hobbits entering Mirkwood to run into Shelob, I think you could do that enclosure in your sleep!
