Nadine,
what size tank are you working on?

Most all of those plants will get too large for the average vivarium. The word "tree" is a dead give away. They will be ok for a while ( short while on most of them). but will soon out grow your tank.

Nadine,
hard to tell from the picture, but if it is a form of Hedera, vivarium conditions might be too wet for it, but they can
be adaptable to a wide range of conditions, so it might work.
