If you are keeping them in the pots then its easier to do. The watering especially is simpler. Plus, if one does die then its not a big deal to take it out and replace it. If you want to set up a bioactive tank with the plants its not that hard, just a thought.

That type of bromeliad takes a fair bit of light; generally the softer the leaf on broms, the less light they need. They also loose their colour as the light decreases. As strutter mentioned, philodendrons are great as they take a beating and are pretty hard to kill. Pothos is the best one for all beginners. Its basically a weed, so it grows just like you would think. Plus they come in some interesting varieties. In that kind of set up (warm, high humidity) they almost can't be killed!

I want to do a bioactive set up. How do I do it?
