I'm looking for suggestions on species other that I can grow in my lowland terrarium becasue I'm having difficulty working out exactly what conditions are suitable for some plants. I'm mainly after plants that I can't grow outside due to humidity or temperature requirements.
The tank is 4ft long and nearly 2ft high and is lit by 4 t5 flourescent tubes. The light fitting is 3ft long so I can provide a light gradient for plants that like less light. The tank is also heated to a constant 25oC.
I currently have the following plants in the tank:
Carnivorous:
-  Nepenthes mirabilis var globosa x (x kuchingensis)
-  Drosera burmannii
-  Byblis liniflora
Non-Carnivorous:
-  Cryptocoryne wendtii "Large", "Green" and "Red"
-  Cryptocoryne nevelli x parva
-  Anubias nana
-  Anubias barteri
-  Anubias lanceolota
-  Anubias gigantea
-  Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow Leaf'

Any help is greatly appreciated.
