Has any one ever used actual spider plants in their enclosures? I have a T Blondi and am thinking about adding one of the off shoots my spider plant produces. Has any one ever used one?

I did a little research just now, and based on what I found they are safe. The problem however is that spider plants apparently require plenty of light.

My spider plant sits in the corner of a North facing window, in the lowest light area. We have a fence just to the West, so it even gets minimal setting sun & it is doing fine. Over the past few months I have taken 9 spiderling mini plant growths, off it, grown them on & passed them onto someone who sells plants for charity.

My understanding has always been they like light, but not direct sunlight, which i why I keep mine where I do. For a bioactive enclosure, I would use some cheap pink & blue LED plant lights from somewhere like ebay or Amazon. It is what I use on the north facing window during the winter months.
