Even though none of these plants is actually native to the US, they look similar to the plants I find here, anyway. Actually, I believe cabomba is also considered a noxious invasive plant in New York state around Long Island, too... These are all redily available in the plastic plants section of the pet store, and should actually have those names in the description. Go for tall plants, and get more than you think you will need if you want a natural look. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

He says he is going back to fake plants, but wants to have plants that are found in the US. Do you mean fake ones that look like real plants found in the US? I'm confused. If you have the right light, substrate, and plant choice...keeping plants alive is easy. *Kristin*
