Plants with shallow roots?!

[TeenyToad]

Thanks, Amy! I don't have any experience with orchids, though I suppose it'd be a great time to learn. Do your suggested plants do well with frequent mistings, and low light?
I actually thought my lighting was pretty bright, but Bill informed me that it wasn't. Great day to be a noob! :P

What kind of lighting are you using? Bill is probably right though, he usually is Could you get some new bulbs? They really aren't very expensive if you order them online. They should do very well with mistings. Orchid experience comes with hands on experience. I read my brains out when I got my first orchid and still managed to kill it. 3 years and 4 orchids later, I finally have the hang of it.

Try picking vines that produce aerial roots as these doesn't mind being pot-bound if ever and would benefit more from getting their aerial roots moist. Photos do good with low light as well as some non-variegated ivy. Have you checked Aluminum plants (Pilea sp.)? They root shallowly and tolerates frequent misting as well. Trailing plants called Pellonia also have shallow roots and tolerates moderate lighting.
