Pothus ivy is practically impossible to kill, grows luxuriously if tended, and having had one in a type of hydroponics container, should be suitable for her experiment. Plus, you can buy one plant, and use cuttings from it for all three containers. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/Epipremnum_aureum_Marble.html Another one is philodendron: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/Syngonium.html Here's the Aggie homepage on houseplants: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/picturepages/tamuhort.html I think tomatoes would do best over summer, so you might have to have a grow light/heat source for a winter project involving them.
