I have two types of Geckos now...House and Crested. They're in 2 different terrariums. I am looking for a house plant for the Crested Gecko, not too big though as the tank isn't that big at this time (10 gallon & the Gecko is full grown) and I will be adding height to it in a month (on top w/ one of those mesh top). And possibly a buddy for him. Online I've seen that Ficus, Pothos and philodendron are good for them.
The House Gecko has a plastic leaf vine thing in his area. I'm thinking that maybe a house plant for him might help keep the humidity up more. I can't seem to find much information on House Geckos anywhere.

From Aaron's Herp Page:
"This an arboreal species therefore climbing branches and cork bark should be placed inside the cage. Also provide a hide spot for each occupant, that's big enough for them to stretch out, including a hide box half filled with moistened vermiculite or spragnum moss to help facilitate with shedding. "
The first link has more information on house geckos.
Also, from Gekko Gecko's Place:
"The plants in the tank must be safe and non-toxic to your gecko. Some safe plants are dracaena, snake plants, and small rubber trees. "
This last statement above was from a skunk gecko page, but they are similar enough that this should work for your house gecko as well. Good luck!
