Mature Plant Size & Root System: These easy-to-grow tropical plants generally grow upright and are excellent in taller terrariums, or even just as good houseplants! Different varieties can grow several feet tall, and may require pruning if they begin to outgrow your tank. Cutting back these plants will encourage new growth further down on the stalks.

Mature root systems can weave their way throughout a terrarium’s substrate in extreme cases, but can be cut back if necessary without damaging the plant. The roots are not strong enough to damage a tank. It prefers moist, but well-drained, soil.
