Madagascar biotope selections

I recently acquired some U. phantasticus geckos, and I'm working on a euro-style corner tank for them, but I'm having trouble finding more than a handful of native Madagascar plants. Can anyone suggest some available plants that are common in Uroplatus habitats? The tank conditions will be 70-90% humidity, 70-75*F, with moderate to high lighting.

I can appreciate what you're trying to do here, but there is going to be a difficult balance between plant selections and optimal conditions for the animals. Namely, most Uroplatus do not like bright lights. So you'll have to be mindful of that. Get in touch with Lawrence Erickson of gekkotas.com or Neil Miester. They both do better with phants than anyone I know.

Nice hardscaping so far!
