java fern and bucephelandra work well. My first java ferns were very small plants buried in the java moss. As they got larger I pulled them out of the moss and they continued to grow. The growth is very slow however. I have come to love the bucephelandra species over the past year. But it is very expensive to purchase. I know of at least one individual here in Florida that is attempting to grow a number of the species on resale basis. As hobbyists begin to successfully cultivate the plants in this country the price will come down. Currently virtually all the plants are being shipped from Borneo.
