Default best foliage plants

Hey guys, were thinking of sinking a tray into the soil of the indoor enclosure and were wondering what the best plants would be to put in it, we want ones that wont need much looking after at all and that izzi will enjoy tearing up if thats what she wishes! And that she can hide amoungst for some alone time. So to sum it up,
Simple to look after
Not bad to look at
And above all safe!

Thanks all

I only use a table for a couple of month's or so, decorating with plant's not at all. But some keeper's do, mainly plant's like Spider Plant, Opuntia cacti, there's spineless one's, money plant, Portulacaria afra. Can be placed/grown higher to avoid Tort devouring all at once. Any other safe plant's/weed's that grow outside would wilt with the heat of be eaten in a one'er.

Yeah the grasses like Carex/Fescue's should take some drought condition's if they dry out indi table, the saxifrage could survive with just misting.
