for me i just printed off the list and went to this huge year round nursery we have here wondered through with my list until i found something that fit my needs and looked good , id recomend hibicus due to the gorgeous flowers they produce , but there a pain to take care of might need a plant light added to setup as well. but if u want some thick coverage for a fair price u cant go wrong with a scheffelera(sp). Also make sure that u find instrustions on proper re potting and removal of the soli the plant comes in, drainage for the plant is an absolute must im haveing problems with my scheff right now which im about to remedey in a few hours. plant also needs to my washed with a mild soap/water mix of vinegar/water mix. i hope some of this helps u out a bit
