Hedera toxicity

Although far less toxic than poison ivy, which is unrelated to this genus, ivy contains triterpenoid saponins and falcarinol, a polyyne. Falcarinol is capable of inducing an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis), although it has been shown to kill breast cancer cells as well.[2]

Direct quote from wikipedia, i dont know why i didn't think of it before. ivy has milky sap, and that generally means it has some toxicity.

Probably safest not to put it in with herbivores and omnivores then.

You left out Sellaginella and Dwarf Baby Tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides). Two of my faves, but I have a very humid setup.

Thought I might add some Australian plants to the list.

For low light (Spathiphyllum - peace lily light levels):
Adiantum aethiopicum - maidenhair fern
Viola hederacea - prostrate, can grow like crazy and will flower in your terrarium
Dichondra repens - prostrate

Medium light:
Glycine clandestina - light creeper
Mazus pumilio - prostrate and has flowered for me but got eaten completely by slaters/pillbugs
Asplenium flabellifoliu
Blechnum penna-marina - currently trying it planted in a terrarium with lower light conditions.

I am always trying to find more native plants to try.
