Pothos, philodendren, bamboo, any ficus (except rubber plant), bromeliads, ferns, basically anything that isnt toxic, and can be maintained in a tank (trimmed, will fit in the tank, etc). But fyi, pothos, and philodendren are toxic, but it shouldnt be much of a concern, unless your crestie is eating the plants, which is very rare (although some do). I also had a wandering jew in my tank, wasnt too strong and I guess couldnt take my cresties abuse, with him climbing on it and all. Wandering jews are also toxic I think. So yea, I would say even many toxic plants can be used, except ones that give off toxic sap when a leaf, or stem breaks, such as a rubber plant. The only real name I know is for the rubber plant, its ficus elastica, you can find the rest on google.

How old is your crestie? You dont need to feed crickets every night, instead of baby food, I would feed crested gecko diet (CGD) mixed with water (1 part cgd, 2 parts water), you can feed cgd mixed with baby food, but I would stick to it just with water, since mixing it with anything else takes away from how complete the cgd is. Mixing it with anything else may throw the ingredients off, since its made to be mixed with water. If you do feed the cgd, theres no need to feed every night, you can feed babies every other night, same with adults, or limit it to 1-2 times a week. Thats only if you feed the cgd, if you feed just baby food then you should feed crickets more often.

feed every night. feed a complete diet and crickets as treats or( i really don’t recommend this method) alternate supplemented baby food and crickets.
