paludarium plant suggestions

[Sundew]

its 37"x11"x18" i believe i have 2 plastic containers silicone to the inside about 5"x5" each and im gonna build a bamboo bridge to join the 2 i cind of wanted to look like a bridge in the middle of the jungle. The water line is about 11" i believe so size of the plants is a factor i thought about using an aquatic moss on the bridge but not sure what kind they seem like they grow slow i really want some sort of flowering vine though unless there is no other options i really see it included in my vision for the paludarium

Thanx for the move Dave

If you want a flowering vine that is manageable, try Hoya carnosa or other Hoya species. They are tropical and sub-tropical vines with dark green leaves (some are varigated) and clusters of white or pink flowers. They cling by adventitious roots and are easy to train. Also they grow relatively slowly so you won't be fighting them all the time. They are not aquatic at all so you would have to hide the roots in a pot and let them scramble over the background. For more color, try Columnea sps. or Aeschynanthus sps., vining relatives of African Violets with brilliant orange or red flowers. They stay manageable also.

If you are doing Fire Bellied Toads, look into plants that can be found in a Siberian marsh...
