Is it a species or a hybrid and what will the overall height of the plant in flower be?

You will need to make sure that the whole plant will be placed at least three inches away from the light source, if it is flourescent further if incandescent, but still be able to get enough light to sustain growth. You may want to try a smaller hybrid such as one from the complex breeding lines which usually are under ten inches when in bloom. Also before placing anything into the vivarium until you are sure it is free of pests and you have flushed the plant a few times to remove any leftover pesticides from the original grower.
