Use whatever cp will fit. The nice thing I've noticed is if you seal
up a terrarium, the plants seem to go into "suspended animation", and
grow/spread very little. I had S. rubras in a tank for years and they
never got up to full size until I took them out. The tank must be
properly sealed and balanced however (the seal need not be hermetic, just
don't leave obvious gaps). -michael
