    Default Plants with shallow roots?!

    See? The crew has you covered. Ivy's, pothos, philodendrons, vining ficus species all will work. There are a bunch of epiphytic ferns that will work as well, like pyrossia species and a few others.

    If you have shallow, small pots (around 2" or so), a miniature African violet would work. They require small pots, anything larger and they would suffer.

    You can also attach broms and orchids to the background as well.

    Luckily, your lighting, while considered low, won't drastically affect most terrestrials. Aquatics would be affected more because you have the water buffering the light.
