I want to get some to up the humidity, and I've also heard that it's possible. But in my very first post, and I was advised against it because the snake will destroy the plants, and that potting soil can harbor harmful bacterias, so I've got a couple of questions. Thanks.

1. What (if any) are some durable plants?
2. Is there any way to clean the potting mix, such as baking it like you would a substrate?
