Very nice, perhaps the names of the plants used should be included?
 P.Formosa and the plant is a Ficus.

Looks like a variegated Ficus benjamina 'natasha', a lovely dwarf ficus. I've got a non-variegated version that I've been growing as a group bonsai for the last 16 years
 . Oops! Putting plant names didn't occur to me fast enough to be able to edit my post  but the plants I used were...Avic enclosure 1: Guzmania sp. not sure which species exactly but it was one of those ones that you can buy for £2 at the supermarket  Avic ExoTerra: Same Guzmania sp. + Aglaonema sp. 'Chinese evergreen' not sure which species either but I think most of them would do well in a terrarium setting. Toad tank: Chlorophytum comosum 'Spider plant' lol, the non-variegated version would do better if the tank was any darker. Saintpaulia onantha (cultivar) 'African Violet', Asplenium nidus or possibly Asplenium australasicum 'Bird's nest fern', do well but since they can grow large given the right conditions, this plant needed to be moved after a year or so. Spathiphyllum wallisii, also a temporary resident due to eventual size. I would always recommend using plants with non-variegated leaves (without any white) in a vivarium setting unless you are using a good full spectrum bulb for illumination or the viv is very close to a natural light source such as a window. Variegated plants have much less chlorophyll in their leaves and therefore need more light that the all-green varieties. I have rarely had a variegated plant last for long in shaded conditions

It's doing really well lots of new growth and bushing out.
It's not in direct sunlight but seems to be going great guns.

30cm cube exoterra plus this lot and some excavator sand.
The stone plants are Lithops lesliei and Lithops fulviceps As you can see the grass is not technically a 'live plant' but it is real. I just gave one of the random ornamental grasses at work a little haircut!  from front...  from left (burrow to be screened with black card to allow secure creature and quick viewing opportunity when desired!)  from the top...
