Greetings. The best thing to do is grow your own, this way you know that it is free of all nasty things. looks like you are in North Carolina? You could get some Pothos and Spider Plants from WalMart or Lowes or your garden center, hang them down in your enclosure so the trailing bits hang down inside.

Welcome to the forum. Try to upload some pix of your enclosure.

Anything you buy from a nursery probably has been treated with systemic pesticides, so shouldn't be fed for 6 months to a year. Ask all your friends if they have any 'clean' plants they'd like to gift to you.
