Live plants

Was searching for pictures of some of the 'safe' plants that I have not seen before, and found that ebay actually has quit a few live plants available. I know some people have asked before about online plant sources, so I thought I would post this. Also found some good results by using google's 'froogle' feature.

Not sure why it took me so long to check ebay. I noticed a lot of ebay sellers ship without pot/soil, so make sure to read the details. If there is a specific type of plant you are trying to get online, froogle.com might help.

Safe Plants on Ebay

I got my Pothos plant sent to me from Ebay. It's doing great. New growth and everything. Fun, eh?

How do the other plants hold up with the fake lighting? Natural sunlight is not an option here in the winter and my hibiscus and ficus (large tree, dont know what species) both died. The Pothos is doing well though under the fake lighting....any one know of any that don't need as much sunlight and are more tree like? Preferably around 2-3 ft tall

I have good success with pothos and schefflera. Most other plants I have to rotate (indoors <=> outdoors).

I have a hardy hibiscus(as in a non-tropical one) that seems to thrive in the chameleon cage, although my cham usually nibbles the new growth off...but anywayI would recommend hardy hibiscus to those who have had problems keeping tropical ones alive. The main difference I can see from the two is the tropical has a little bit bigger, paler leaves. Also, has anyone found any new sites for plants? I've been looking around for a decent sized ficus benjimina, but since its winter in the midwest, its about as easy as finding a good nursery thats open as finding a cham out in the snow.
