    Default Local Plants for a Vivarium?

    Most of the plants you listed will just simple outgrow any tank rather quickly. Cinnamon ferns alone can grow up to 4 feet tall.
    Duckweed is not an issue to keep, but it is a nightmare to get rid of if you choose you no longer want it anymore. Water lettuce (depending on the species) and water hyacinth are great pond plants, but will never be happy in the confined spaces of a small vivarium.

    You best bet is to choose plants that are vivarium friendly, but have the same look and feel of the plants you are interested in.
