Question Plant recommendations?

What are some nice plants I could plant? I'm thinking about growing some in a few tanks, and I might even be incorporating toads or insects (not likely).

Sadly, I have no lights or fan..

I've had a Streptocarpella and Areca Palm or Cateracterum Palm growing at the bottom of my terrarium for 4/5 months now they seem hardy. I would give them a try again how about you for the first time? I didn't think my uv light can reach down to 30" down so I repeat they must be hardy. I bought the Streptocarpella from Josh's Frogs I could only raise/keep this one plant from a small set but it remains. The $10 palm came from The Home Depot and Bromeliads $5 can be found at Walmart sometimes I guess.

There are a lot of different plants you can use in low lighting since you won't have supplemental lights. Check out this section of the website for low lighting terrarium plants.
