hi im gunna be getting a male and female emperors scorpions and i was just wondering which real life plants can i use in there setup?

Why not get a silk plant?
Someone on here (Simon, I think) has stunning emp set up with a huge silk fern in it, and it looks realistic.

Problem with real plants is you need to plant them in the substrate, and emps love to burrow! Also it would have to be one that would thrive in the same conditions as emps, ie same temps and humidity.
Also, the crickets might eat the leaves.

You can use a variety of plants if you wish.

Ive had success with date palms, bromeliads and ferns which thrive in low(ish) light levels and higher humidity.

Just avoid using a heat mat under the tank as it tends to kill the roots. Use a chemical free compost - I would suggest coir block, but it can be a nightmare to get the moisture in the middle ground using it. It always seems to go bone dry or sodden :/

You might want to try researching some species of tropical grasses or grass like ferns. Something that responds well to pruning might do well as it'll be limited by the size of the tank.

Overall, live plants can be a hassle, but IMO they are worth the extra effort.

Look for the plants suitable for those glass bottles. I leave mine in the pots. Silk is easier as my Emps love "anti gardening" Lots of web sites for good cheap silk plants.
